Introduction Tokyo Sumo Wrestling Watching

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Tokyo, as a cultural gathering place of Japan, carries the profound heritage of sumo, a national sport. Watching sumo in Tokyo is a unique journey to deeply experience the charm of traditional Japanese culture.

Sumo, a sport known as Japan's "national sport", can be traced back to thousands of years ago. It is closely linked to Shinto sacrifices. After years of baptism, it has evolved into a unique existence that combines competition and ritual. In Tokyo, you can watch the exciting competition of wrestlers on the earthenware hyori up close. The earthenware hyori of the competition venue is carefully constructed with straw bags, covered with special clay and fine sand on the surface, and a roof decorated with tassels is hung above, which is very traditional.

Sumo wrestlers are divided into ten levels according to their performance, and Yokozuna is the highest honor. In the competition, the players wear loincloths and have strong bodies. Their pre-match rituals are solemn and mysterious. Sprinkling salt to purify the stadium, stamping feet to drive away evil spirits, and showing bare hands to show respect, a series of actions are full of deep meaning. During the competition, they use superb skills such as pushing, throwing, and catching to compete with all their strength in a short period of time. The winner is decided by pushing the opponent out of the ring or making his body touch the ground except for the soles of his feet. The excitement of winning or losing in an instant makes the audience's heart beat faster.

During the official competition, the schedule is full from morning to night. In the morning, there are mostly newcomers' competitions, and in the afternoon, high-level wrestlers appear on the stage. The later the competition, the more exciting it is. There are also performance competitions, which mainly popularize sumo rules and perform some performances. You can also choose to watch sumo performances while eating. The audience can feel the power of the collision between the wrestlers and immerse themselves in the warm atmosphere of the scene. They can experience the lofty status of sumo in the hearts of the Japanese people, appreciate the martial arts spirit and cultural heritage contained in this ancient sport, and leave unforgettable viewing memories.

#japantrip A friend of mine wanted to go, so I went with her. I visited around 13:30 on a weekday and was able to get in without waiting m. I had pancakes with bacon and eggs, and my friend had lemon and maple sugar . The pancakes go well with eggs and bacon, and you can also drizzle maple syrup if you like, making it both salty and sweet. The lunch set coffee and tea were of good quality and got me excited.

Odaiba, Tokyo

Odaiba, Tokyo

Odaiba in Tokyo is a nice place. Compared to other parts of Tokyo, Odaiba is spacious with many high-rise buildings. I particularly like the cable-stayed bridge, the large sphere (observation deck) of the Fuji TV building... Walking in Odaiba Seaside Park, the surrounding skyscrapers, the distant port, the Rainbow Bridge (a suspension bridge crossing the northern part of Tokyo Bay, connecting Shibaura in Minato and Odaiba), the cruise ships shuttling under the Rainbow Bridge, the decorated iron chains and anchors by the sea, and the small Statue of Liberty, all make this place different from other places. The night view of Odaiba is great, and there are also Gundam performances.

A Visit to the Renowned Sushi Dai Honkan in Tsukiji Market, Tokyo

After snapping photos of Tokyo Tower at Shiba Park around 8 pm, I found out that Sushi Dai Honkan, just outside Tsukiji Market, was still open. I made it there just before closing, and thanks to the rainy weather, I avoided the usual queues (last time it was over an hour wait). I went straight for the 'Chef's Choice' set A, which included a hearty serving of 9 nigiri sushi, 2 tamagoyaki, 6 tekka maki, plus 2 pieces of my choice, accompanied by miso soup and tea. (The restaurant only allows photos of the food, and since the chef spoke in Japanese, I focused on enjoying the meal). For my two additional nigiri, I selected fatty tuna and scallop from the special menu. The combination of the fatty sweetness and the vinegared rice was so good that I nearly devoured each piece in one go! Unlike Sushi Dai at Toyosu Market, which requires an early morning visit to secure a queue ticket, this main branch a short distance from Tsukiji Market's outer area attracts fewer tourists and more local Japanese patrons, particularly in the evenings after work. (If you're willing to wait, you're guaranteed a spot). Having not tried the Toyosu location, I can't make a direct comparison, but the no-wait experience here is undoubtedly a win. I was the last diner of the night and left right after my meal, feeling incredibly lucky! Business hours: 10:30-22:00 Address: 6 Chome-21-2 Tsukiji, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0045 Japan

🇯🇵 Japanese neighbourhood

The alley nearby Shin Udon towards Azuki to Kouri is lovely. It is a short 7 minutes walk between these 2 shops so it is also easy to plan your reservation timing. Along this street, there are also many cafes and restaurants too. There are housing apartment on the upper level and towards to the next street, there are private housing too. You can also spot expensive cars at the parking lots and there is even a Thailand tuk-tuk outside the Thai restaurant. The roads in Japan are easy to walk because it has been planned for both pedestrian and cyclist to walk on the side. You will also pass by a train track and this is controlled by traffic lights so when the train is passing by, the access is closed. #wheretogo #japan #tokyo #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

Japanese Culture | Exploring Japan's premier gateway, Haneda International Airport

Japanese Culture | Exploring Japan's premier gateway, Haneda International Airport

🧳 Located at the mouth of the Tama River in Ota Ward, Tokyo, Haneda Airport, officially known as Tokyo International Airport, includes Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and the International Terminal, making it Japan's largest airport. According to 2014 statistics, Haneda Airport ranked fourth in the world in terms of passenger numbers. 🌟 The history of Haneda Airport dates back to the 1930s, when it was known as Tokyo Airport and served for civil aviation passenger and cargo transport. Later, Haneda Airport was occupied by the U.S. military and returned in 1952, renamed Tokyo International Airport. Since then, the airport has gradually expanded, with a significant portion built on reclaimed land. 📍 Haneda Airport has four runways and is one of the very few airports in Japan that operates 24 hours a day. Compared to Narita Airport in Chiba Prefecture, Haneda Airport is very conveniently located for access. It takes only 13 minutes at the fastest to reach the International Terminal of Haneda Airport from Hamamatsucho in Tokyo by monorail, and 11 minutes at the fastest from Shinagawa by Keikyu Express. In contrast, the fastest trip from Tokyo to Narita Airport takes an hour, and the fare is much more expensive than going to Haneda. 👍 One of the iconic structures of Haneda Airport is the arch-shaped cable-stayed bridge, officially named the Tokyo International Airport Central North-South Connection Bridge. The bridge spans the Bayshore Route expressway, facilitating traffic between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Haneda Airport's control tower is 116 meters high, ranking fourth in the world. The observation deck is close to the airport's taxiway, where you can easily see airplanes. From the observation deck, you can see planes taxiing right in front of you, and even clearly see the captain and co-pilot, with the captain politely waving. ✅ Inside the International Terminal, the shopping area with a Japanese ambiance called 'Edo Koji' sells various souvenirs from Japan. You can take a free shuttle bus to travel between terminals, look at airplanes, eat some delicious food, buy some souvenirs, take a few photos, and then return home satisfied. For this reason, travel companies even offer special sightseeing routes to Haneda Airport.
