The AJPW Ōdō Tournament is a men's pro wrestling tournament held periodically by All Japan Pro Wrestling.
The tournament was established on July 30, 2013, and the first edition was won by Akebono , while the last edition took place on September 15, 2025 and was won by Kento Miyahara[3].
The tournament is open to both Japanese and foreign wrestlers regardless of their weight divisions, so it is subtitled "Open Championship".
Typically, the winner earns a future match for the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship (if he's not already the champion).
The tournament is more commonly known in the West as Royal Road Tournament.
