Edion Arena Osaka — Attraction in Osaka

Awesome venue, went to see sumo tournament. Had just regular seats not a booth but they were super comfy and had more leg room then a booth, wouldn't recommend booth for tall folks. They do actually have a restaurant within the arena, it serves curry and ramen of sorts with some Bento boxes available also. We were able to bring in food and drinks however so if you don't like the restaurant or want to save some Yen bring in your own food and drinks. The staff are all very helpful and speak great English so just ask them where to find your seat and you should have no problem at all. There is also a smoking section available on the balcony of the second floor for any smokers.

Went to see a Sumo tournament here. Definitely worth doing if you are going to be in the area at the appropriate time. You'll need to plan ahead though. Tickets for the day we went sold out months before we got to Japan. We went with the traditional tatami seating and that was definitely the right call! It was really fun being somewhat closer to the action and honestly I found it more comfortable than typical western arena type seating. I would absolutely like to go again for the Sumo but the venue itself was really really nice as well. It had plenty of space. Easy to get into...
