Hulk Hogan and The Rock would scream like geisha girls if they ever had to step foot on the mats at the very real July Grand Tournament in Nagoya. From 10-24 July, you can get the full sumo experience, from the opening traditional ceremony to the play-by-play of wrestling manoeuvres—over 70 different throws trips and tricks to move a mountain of man outside the ring.
At the Kanko Hotel you can indulge your inner sumo with a feast at the restaurant.
