[0024] A curtain 44 and a screen 45 are provided on the first wall 17. The curtain 44 is made of cloth and covers the entrance / exit 43. The curtain 44 is configured to be able to be rolled up upward. When the curtain 44 is rolled up upward, the entrance / exit 43 is opened. When the curtain 44 and the screen 45 close the entrance / exit 43, the curtain 44 and the screen 45 overlap in the thickness direction.

[0025] The screen 45 is disposed between the curtain 44 and the aisle 40. The screen 45 is configured so that it can be rolled up upward. The screen 45 is a flat device onto which an image generated by a movie projector or projector is projected. The movie projector or projector can be provided, for example, above the third seating area 15 on the second wall 18.

[0026] When the curtain 44 is rolled up and the screen 45 is rolled up and the doorway 43 is open, the audience in the first seating area 13, the second seating area 14, and the third seating area 15 can see the stage 16 through the doorway 43.

[0027] Additionally, signs 49 are provided on the surface of the first wall 17 facing the internal space A1, specifically on both sides of the entrance 43. The signs 49 are provided to distinguish between the east and west sides of the sumo ring 12 and to display the names of the wrestlers appearing. The signs 49 can be attached to and detached from the first wall 17.

[0028] Furthermore, in the interior space A1, above the sumo ring 12, a water-drape curtain 48 is hung from the ceiling. The water-drape curtain 48 is made of, for example, cloth. In a plan view of the store 10, the water-drape curtain 48 is hung in a ring shape, for example, a square shape. Also, above the sumo ring 12, for example, an air outlet 50 of an air conditioning unit is provided on the ceiling.

And inside the circular sumo ring 12 Furthermore, a lighting device that illuminates the interior space A1 is provided on the ceiling.

[0029] (Example of store structure usage) Customers in the external space A2 can enter the internal space A1 mainly through the entrances 24 and 25. Customers sit in chairs in designated areas among the first seating area 13, the second seating area 14, and the third seating area 15. In addition, employees of the store 10 can enter the internal space A1 mainly through the entrances 24 and 25 and place food, drinks, etc. on the tables 31, 35, and 38 in the first seating area 13, the second seating area 14, and the third seating area 15.

[0030] The MC enters the interior space A1 through the entrance / exit 23 and stands in the aisle 40. The MC proceeds with and explains the event being held in the store 10. Before the event starts, an image is projected onto the screen 45. Customers sitting in the chairs 32, 36, and 39 can also watch the image until the event starts. When the curtain 44 and the screen 45 are rolled up, the customers sitting in the chairs 32, 36, and 39 can see inside the stage 16 through the entrance / exit 43.

[0031] Events include Japanese dance and performing arts on stage 16, sumo shows held on mound 22 and sumo ring 12, and the like. The realistic sumo shows include sumo movements and bouts performed by mock wrestlers (former wrestlers), and sumo challenges in which guests can participate and compete against the mock wrestlers. The mock wrestlers mainly enter and exit interior space A1 through doorway 23. Performers performing on stage 16 can enter and exit stage 16 through doorway 41.

After the event and the food and drinks are over, the mock wrestlers and guests can gather inside the sumo ring 12 on the raised earth 22 and take photos. There can also be a question time for the mock wrestlers.

[0033] Furthermore, when the curtain 44 and screen 45 close the entrance 43, the audience in the first seating area 13, the second seating area 14, and the third seating area 15 cannot see inside the stage 16. Therefore, performers performing on the stage 16 can prepare inside the stage 16 without being noticed by the audience in the first seating area 13, the second seating area 14, and the third seating area 15.

[0034] Furthermore, even if curtain 44 is forgotten to be closed, as long as screen 45 closes entrance / exit 43, the audience in first seating area 13, second seating area 14, and third seating area 15 cannot see inside stage 16. Therefore, performers on stage 16 can make preparations without being noticed by the audience in first seating area 13, second seating area 14, and third seating area 15.

[0035] Wall 42 also has a doorway 41 connecting stage 16 to external space B1. Therefore, when curtain 44 and screen 45 are closing doorway 43, performers can enter stage 16 from external space B1 through doorway 41 and exit stage 16 to external space B1 through doorway 41 without being noticed by the audience in first seating area 13, second seating area 14, and third seating area 15.

[0036] Furthermore, an air outlet 50 of an air conditioning system and a water curtain 48 are provided above the sumo ring 12. In a plan view of the store 10 seen from directly above, the water curtain 48 is arranged in a ring shape surrounding the air outlet 50. This allows the air blown downward from the air outlet 50 to flow primarily toward the simulated sumo wrestlers participating in events on the sumo ring 12. Therefore, in the summer, cool air from the air outlet 50 can be directed toward the simulated wrestlers, allowing them to exercise comfortably. In the winter, warm air from the air outlet 50 can be directed toward the simulated wrestlers, allowing them to exercise comfortably.
