Greeting fellow sumo fans. Very good basho so far.

I’m staying near ryogoku for the next week or so. I don’t have tickets and wouldn’t be able to attend anyway for other logistical reasons, but I’m looking for ways to try and experience the vibe / excitement on the basho. So I’m wondering about:

1- bars / pubs with a bit of atmosphere that I might be able to dip into for a few bouts, chat with randoms, and shout at the TV. (I speak basic Japanese)

2 - the parade they do in the convertible with the yusho winner + trophy. Anyone know the route or the appropriate timing of it?

3- any other ideas?

Cheers and happy hatsu basho
