Product Description

Experience the intensity and tradition of sumo wrestling up close during a morning practice session at a sumo stable in Tokyo. Witness the incredible discipline, strength, and skill of the wrestlers as they train rigorously to climb the ranks and achieve greatness.

Your guide will begin by explaining the origins, history, rules, and unique aspects of sumo wrestling to deepen your appreciation of the sport. Practice starts early, with wrestlers warming up and stretching before engaging in intense practice matches where you’ll hear the powerful sounds of their bodies colliding.

This is a serious, authentic experience, not a tourist show, so participants must follow a few simple rules: remain silent, stay still, and sit on floor cushions provided—no chairs are available. Photo sessions with wrestlers may be possible but are not guaranteed.
