Review for: Tokyo Sumo Morning Practice Tour in Kiyosumi Shirakawa

Marie was very knowledgeable and a legit fan of sumo. She took the time to answer questions i had and to clarify things for me. the sumo practice itself was fascinating to watch. The wrestlers hold nothing back and you can feel the force of the collisions. The physicality is real, and you will see bruises and some blood. The traditions and effort put forth by the wrestlers is there. Even with the full intensity they demonstrate respect and humility the whole time. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to see the real thing, but is unable to make it to a tournament.

We were unable to locate the appropriate meeting spot for the start of the tour. Thankfully the tour operator provided us with the location of the sumo stable only a few minutes away. Our guide was friendly and the experience overall was enjoyable.

The guide Masao was great. didn’t have the best english, but more than made up for it with his enthusiasm and joy. It was a really enjoyable morning and very impressive tour. Sumo is legit, and those dudes are serious athletes. My respect for what they do, and how hard they train went through the roof. Highly recommend.

A very interesting moment where we were able to appreciate all the rigor of this training!! Being a sumo is not necessarily what we think!! A bit long all the same especially for a 9 year old child with an early schedule. Thank you for this moment!!

the guide was simply amazing. he gave us a lot of explanation about the sumo culture before we could enjoy the training and it was really helpful. Watching the sumo practice was mesmerizing!

Review for: Tokyo Sumo Morning Practice Tour in Kiyosumi Shirakawa

While the tour isn't cheap, the experience was worth it. Quite intense and informative. We gained an understanding and appreciation of this sport and what it takes to become a sumo wrestler. The setting of only 9 chairs made for quite a personal feel.

Review for: Tokyo Sumo Morning Practice Tour in Kiyosumi Shirakawa

the guide was extremely nice and also explained everything very well. the overall experience was really interesting. i would recommend it as it is early in the morning, not too long if it's the first time you assist to sumo practice i think it's a good balance and you still have the full day ahead to explore around
