(SeaPRwire) –   TOKYO, April 28, 2026 — MIMARU, Japan’s premier apartment hotel brand for families, managed by Cosmos Hotel Management Co., Ltd., is offering guests a novel way to engage with one of Japan’s most iconic traditions at THE SUMO LIVE RESTAURANT HIRAKUZA GINZA TOKYO.

Sumo has grown more international in recent years, with top-division wrestlers from abroad gaining broader global recognition. The sport has expanded its reach through overseas exhibitions in regions such as China, South Korea, the United States, and Europe. A London tour in October 2025 attracted significant attention, demonstrating rising interest in Western markets, and a Paris event is planned for June 2026, underscoring its ongoing global growth. In this context, THE SUMO LIVE RESTAURANT HIRAKUZA GINZA TOKYO provides a welcoming entry point for newcomers to experience, learn about, and participate in this cultural practice.
