Additional information

Other Reminders

  • The hair-cutting ceremony is a significant ritual that honors a sumo wrestler's long years of achievement and celebrates the beginning of a new chapter in their life. The dohyo (sumo ring) and hanamichi (flower path) are sacred training grounds, so unauthorized entry is strictly prohibited. Please follow staff instructions during the tour.
  • In accordance with sumo tradition, female participants do not enter the dohyo (sumo ring) but participate from a dedicated stage. The hair-cutting ceremony itself is the same for both men and women.
  • While getting your hair cut, please follow the order and proceed smoothly. When touching a bun hairstyle, please handle it gently and be careful not to apply too much force. Since many guests will be getting their hair cut, the ceremony itself may take some time.
  • Flash photography is strictly prohibited inside the venue. Please set your mobile phones to silent mode during the ceremony. Always keep your valuables and personal belongings with you. Please note that schedules and details may change depending on event operational circumstances.
