Konnichiwa! Having watched the last few sumo tournaments on tv, I now want to see the real thing, even if the fantastic Asashoryu has "retired"!!

Due to work commitments, I can only go at weekends and am planning on going on the first day, Sunday 9th May. I've looked at the Sumo Association website and am thinking of queuing up for the cheap seats (2nd floor general admission seats for 2,100 yen) on Sunday morning. The box office opens at 8am and my question is:- does anyone know (from personal experience or otherwise) what time I should begin queuing from?? I'm quite prepared to get there early (6ish) but obviously, would rather not if I don't have to :-)

Thanks for any advice you can give!
