You will not get in so there is little reason to kill yourself getting there. Your best bet to see sumo is to get to a hotel room and watch the live broadcast on TV.
I figured as much. I'd be willing to pay, but only if I could have enough time there for it to be worth it - maybe if the flight has a crazy tailwind...
That said, what do I do instead in January for one night? I'm not a drinker nor a partyer...
