Watching a sumo tournament is definitely a dream come true for me! In 2017, I came to Japan as a tourist, and one of the things that I wanted to experience was watching a sumo tournament, but I didn't have a chance. This year, 2024, I had the opportunity to watch the sumo tournament up close! It was surreal, and it was very exciting! I learned a lot about sumo while editing this video, and please feel free to check out the websites that I used for the information that I mentioned in this video.
