7 best cities in the world for sports fans

Tokyo, Japan

Think of baseball when you think of Japan? Probably not, but this island nation – due to the American presence after the Second World War – is one of the best, and probably most unexpected, places on the world to see a baseball match.Not a fan of baseball? Enjoy the 1,500 year-old sport of sumo wrestling. Tournaments are held six times a year and last 15 days each. It sees two wrestlers weighing around 450 pounds trying to knock each other out of the ring. Given its cultural significance it comes with a very special atmosphere and is definitely something to tick off the bucket list.
