The event on June 1st is a retirement ceremony, which includes matches. The location is the Ryogoku Kokugikan, just like the major Tokyo tournaments. The doors open at 10:00 and the event time is from 11:00-16:00. You can arrive and leave at any time. The scheduled order of events is matches for the second division, then the hair-cutting of the retiring wrestler, then matches for the top division. The hair-cutting takes a long time because lots of people take turns taking a snip.

Children 3 years old and younger don't need a ticket if they don't need their own seat.

Food/souvenir sets are available for purchase in advance. You can add them to your cart along with your seat ticket. Food sales on the day of the event will be limited, so we advise buying in advance if you want to eat at the event. __These sets do not include a ticket to enter the event.__

Ticket prices include our service fee (1,500 yen for entry tickets, 500 yen for Sets) and payment fees (about 4% of ticket price). There is an extra fee of 500 yen per order, for payment fees and for the event office to send us the tickets.
