Calling Tokyo from the US

I am calling from the US and I am trying to buy Sumo tickets by phone. The number listed on the website is: 0570-02-9310. I am trying 011 81 3 570-02-9310. What am I doing wrong. I don't read or speak Japanese. Is there a website in English where I could order tickets? I want to attend Thursday, May 14th. What is the likelyhood of buying tickets the same day I want to attend?

The first 3 is not needed! The area code is 0570 and not 03.
0570 is a special "area code", and I think there are some types of phones which cannot connect to it.

You have to try: 011 81 570-029310. You need to drop the first 0 of the area code, just like you tried earlier by dropping the 0 from 03.
If this does not yield results, that may mean that you cannot call 0570 numbers from outside Japan.

Thank you for your comments. I will try dropping the 0 but I think I have already tried that. If I am not able to buy tickets prior to arriving Tokyo will it be likely that I can buy tickets the day of the tournament?
Thanks.

The area code for Tokyo is 03, but judging from the number, the booking location is not in Tokyo, but maybe somewhere around Aichi or Gifu. 0570-02-9310. (0570 seems to be the area code)
So you should try 011 81 570 02 9310.

0570 is not an area code, it is a special number used for receiving mass callers (such as a call center for reservation).
As this number is a special one, it does not accept calls from some type of phones like PHS, or calls from boat or abroad.
