About

Every March, sumos top wrestlers move to Osaka for the Haru Basho, and the arena in Namba becomes a festival of banners, chanko stalls and early-morning practice. Bouts run from about 8:30 with lower divisions, building to the top-division Makuuchi ring-entering ceremony around 15:45 and the final bouts until 18:00. It's within walking distance of Namba, and wrestlers can often be spotted walking to the venue in the afternoon.
