Wrestle Kingdom is NJPW's flagship event, held at the Tokyo Dome on January 4 most years, drawing the company's biggest matches and a crowd that fills a baseball stadium. If you're planning a Japan trip around this one night, the schedule is tight and worth planning early.
The timeline that matters
- Tickets for Wrestle Kingdom typically go on sale months ahead, with some seat blocks selling out before general sale even opens
- Hotels near the Tokyo Dome and in central Tokyo fill up around New Year's, so booking early matters as much for the room as the ticket
- The show itself runs for several hours; plan a light dinner beforehand rather than a big meal right before
Build the rest of the trip around it
Our Recommended Course, January 3–4, 2027, is built around this night. Day 1 is mask making in Ryogoku, a pro-wrestling experience in Sumida City (dropkick practice with a working pro wrestler), and a pro-wrestling shop in Suidobashi. Day 2 is a pro-wrestling shop in Sugamo, the January 4 show at the Tokyo Dome (bell at 16:30, ending around 21:30), and dinner with wrestlers near Suidobashi afterwards. We plan each tour around your group, so tell us which experiences you'd like when you request a quote. See the full itinerary.
Two-day tour price
Each group has up to 8 guests, with an interpreter and an attendant. The Recommended 2-day course, including the show and the other experiences: from ¥245,000 per person (approx. US$1,550). This is the price of the whole tour, not a ticket price. The final price is in your personal quote, based on your group.
Frequently asked questions
How early should I plan for Wrestle Kingdom?
As early as your travel dates allow. This is the single hardest date on the calendar to get a good seat for, and it only gets harder closer to January.
Is the Tokyo Dome easy to get to?
Yes — it's served directly by Tokyo Metro and JR lines. On the tour, the group goes to the Dome together with the guide.
