HANSHIN CONTENTS LINK CORPORATION is pleased to announce the grand opening of “THE SUMO HALL HIRAKUZA OSAKA” on the 8th floor of NAMBA Parks, a commercial facility in Osaka Minami, today, May 30, 2024.
“THE SUMO HALL HIRAKUZA OSAKA” is an experiential sumo entertainment show hall where visitors can enjoy and experience the Japanese national sport of sumo. Targeting inbound tourists, we have opened this hall on the bustling 8th floor of NAMBA Parks in Osaka’s Namba district, allowing visitors to feel closer to Japanese culture.
Combining “sumo,” “food,” and “entertainment,” this new hall promises to provide all visitors with unforgettable experiences and cherished memories.
Background of the Grand Opening of “THE SUMO HALL HIRAKUZA OSAKA”
In 2023, the number of inbound tourists to Japan has recovered to about 80% of pre-pandemic levels (2019), with a growing interest in experiential consumption, especially in Japan’s unique traditional culture and cuisine. Despite the increasing number of foreign visitors seeking various attractions in Japan, the expenditure on “experiential consumption” remains lower compared to other countries, indicating room for expansion.
Following this situation, leveraging the entertainment show business expertise gained from operations such as Billboard Live and HANSHIN KOSHIEN STADIUM events, HANSHIN CONTENTS LINK CORPORATION has decided to open “THE SUMO HALL HIRAKUZA OSAKA,” a new type of sumo entertainment show hall, to showcase the charm of Japanese culture embodied in the national sport of sumo to the world.
This facility will contribute to revitalizing the local economy by providing a new experiential spot for inbound tourists to engage with Japanese culture.
Experience the Fusion of Sumo, Food, and Entertainment
“THE SUMO HALL HIRAKUZA OSAKA” is a show hall where inbound tourists can watch and experience sumo, a sport with over 1500 years of history. The sumo show, conducted in English, features spectacular and intense performances by former sumo wrestlers on the dohyo, as well as interactions with the wrestlers (limited number of participants) and group commemorative photos.
We offer original bento boxes that reflect Japanese authenticity, along with options for premium bento, halal bento, and vegan bento. Experience Japan’s traditional viewing culture of enjoying entertainment such as kabuki and theater while dining on bento boxes, a tradition dating back to the Edo period.

Also within walking distance are Osaka’s famous downtown area, Dotonbori, the iconic observation tower, and Shinsekai, making it easy for tourists to drop by during sightseeing.
Sharing Japanese Sumo Culture with the World
