Fukuoka, Japan in €550s-€570s rtn

Mawashi at the ready, you're just in time for sumo season!

By November, the Kokusai Center is completely taken over by Fukuoka's grand sumo tournament, showcasing some of the country's top athletes.

The main event runs until the 23rd of November, so you've still got time to catch a match or two with the dates listed below. 

Can't make it before then? December brings smaller regional shows around Fukuoka. Often these are in more intimate venues, making every stomp feel a lot more up close and personal! 

P.S. The flights from Frankfurt come with some pretty long layovers, but you can read our guide for some tips on how to keep yourself busy :-)
