Higashimori 0 Posted May 30, 2007 I asked this in another thread but it wasn't answered. Does anyone know what time approximately Hakuho's dohyo-iri will be held at Meiji Shrine this Friday? The Kyokai website lists it as happening, but no indication as to when exactly. Nothing on the Meiji Shrine official site either. I seem to recall that Asashoryu's dohyo-iri was around 10am-ish (didn't go, just remember it was then for some reason) but don't really want to get down there too early (or too late!). Anyone?

Higashimori 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks folks. Too bad it's in the afternoon, I won't be able to attend. (I am not worthy...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kawika 123 Posted May 31, 2007 Seriously, 3:30pm is the TV listing? I don't recall any of the previous Meiji Jingu inaugural dohyo-iri events having been in the afternoon and I seem to recall the stories from other fans about going early to get a good spot. 3:30pm is a better time for me, but hopefully someone will confirm the time.

kawika 123 Posted May 31, 2007 Way to go! I know how it is to get the wife to make those Japanese calls for you, especially regarding sumo or some sport. Good on ya mate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
