Does anyone have any experience here of going to watch wrestling in Tokyo? Specifically New Japan Pro Wrestling. I’m going to Japan in November with my brother and he is a big wrestling fan, I thought it would be cool to take him to see some wrestling one night but it seems to be a tricky thing to do. We will be in Tokyo 7th – 11th November, I realise its too early as specific events aren’t announced yet, but I’m just looking for general advice such as best way to buy tickets, how easy is it to actually attend and is it even a good time? Any advice appreciated!

How easy is it to attend? Extremely. It’s just like any other event you would go to. Except you’re even allowed to bring in full meals (not sure if this has changed since COVID).
Is it a good time? Absolutely, but obviously is a bit dependent on what you’re getting from show to show.
Unfortunately, there’s a decent chance NJPW won’t be in Tokyo during that timeframe. They usually run an Osaka show around the first week of October.
If not, some fun alternatives might be NOAH, AJPW, DDT, Stardom, or TJPW (and many more).
There are 3rd party sellers online that you can look up. Otherwise you’re likely to be able to grab tix from a Lawson’s or some other conbini.
