What to expect
Discover the fascinating world of sumo wrestling with our exclusive and exciting tour!
We visit one of the real Sumo stables in Tokyo where they live and train every day! Come and observe a Sumo wrestler practice session. How do they practice, and what Sumo is all about? Actually, the Sumo stables are not very open to the public because it was only for sponsors. So this is a very special experience even for Japanese locals. You'll get the chance to talk to your English-speaking guide and wrestlers to learn more about Sumo and the tournaments they train so diligently for.












Reviews
Absolutely unique experience. Our guide Aki-San was very knowledgeable and kind. The Sumotori were very impressive. I will look out for them in the next tournaments.
Lovely tour, we were lucky to see the sumo wrestlers as they were training for a tournament, unforgettable experience and lovely atmosphere in general :)
Wow what a powerful experience this was. Kaz our guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared many facts about the “Sumo” life we were impressed. Even more impressive were the young men who have dedicated their lives to this sport and tradition which dates back to the Edo and Nara period.Highly recommended activity!
We planned this our first day in Tokyo. It only has an early hour option and we got lost in the train station. The tour guide was kind enough to let us join the group at the event. You basically see them practice, don’t have much explaining, at the end they let you ask questions and take a picture with them. Good all around the experience if your are into sumo.
Excellent english by the guide. We also met the last yokozuna #74 also higher rank sumitori were on the place. Excellent tour!
Was fun. Yasu was great. We were able to get several photos taken of the wrestlers. Would do it again anytime.
An experience to be had. A great guide with all the explanations. A unique experience to be had in their daily practice. A must-see.
it was an amazing experience! more people should check this out.
The booking and payment process is very easy
Authentic? Yes definitely. An interesting glimpse into what practice looks like for sumo wrestlers. I came knowing this, and with this in mind I knew that it would not be as "exciting" or action packed as a sumo tournament match. HOWEVER, it would have been also nice to know that it's currently tournament season and the sumos WILL NOT BE carrying out their practice at their 100% to conserve energy for the tournament. Because the whole thing lasted 45 minutes tops and I did not feel that it was worth my 150$ :") perhaps separate pricing can be considered so those viewing trainings during tournaments can pay cheaper? Idk but I jus felt like this was not exactly worth the money.
