Hi fahimah,

This is the English version of the Japanese Sumo Association site - scroll down for the Grand Sumo tournament dates.

There are six grand bashos each year, always every second month (starting January). Each tournament is fifteen days long and usually begins on the second Sunday of the month. Tokyo hosts the January, May and September bashos, Osaka the March, Nagoya the July and Fukuoka the November basho. Reply to this
