The Emperor's Cup
If you're going to be anywhere near Tokyo this weekend or can get there quickly, don't miss out on the biggest "basho" of them all--the Emperor's Cup. This is where the world's top sumo wrestlers clash for the title of champion.
Each wrestler competes once a day and eventually takes on every other wrestler in the competition, the one with the best record wins. Currently, Asashoryu's in the lead (above). The cup runs through Sunday and tickets range from $33 to $420.
Check out Japan's National Tourist Organization as finding tickets without speaking Japanese can be challenging and they can hook you up with a translator.
