[Photos with Wrestlers] Exclusive Access to Sumo Morning Practice

This was an absolutely fantastic experience, my son loved it, and so did it! A unique opportunity to see a Japanese tradition up close. It was easy to meet our guide, Taka, at the meeting point, he spoke perfect English and gave us all the information about Sumo and it's history. We enjoyed watching the Sumo wrestlers practise, and loved having our photo taken with them at the end. They were all friendly and it was a unique experience. Thank you Taka!

You will enjoy this tour if you are interested in understanding the sumo culture of Japan and learning how the wrestlers practice everyday. In the session I joined, I was able to watch the morning practice of the junior as well as the senior sumo wrestlers, which is a very authentic and interesting experience. The guide also taught us a few interesting facts about sumo after we watched the practice. I would recommend this trip to those who want to learn about this unique Japanese culture.

really enjoyed it as the wrestlers were really training and we got a front row seat to see all the actions! The guide was informative and you can tell that he knew what he was talking about.

group size: small group - we only had 5 people total in our group, the sumo stable was intimate and you get to see them up close and personal. highly recommended - can’t post photos in this review as it is a rule from the tour guide. Exactly what we wanted to experience.

It was the perfect experience to end my Toyko trip. Our guide was friendly, personable and knowledgeble. She shared the history of sumo, and some other basics with us including proper etiquette while in the sumo house. I enjoyed being able to ask her other questions about sumo as we walked to the sumo house. Being able to watch the sumo practice felt really special and unique as we got an inside glimpse into their daily life. Our group had 9 people and when we arrived at the sumo house we were the only group there so we had alot of space to sit comfortably. When you arrive you immediately feel a sense of respect for what is going on, so it's important to show respect, sit quietly and follow proper etiquette. I would highly recommend this tour with our specific guide as she was great! I hope to do this type of tour again the next time I visit Japan.

Awesome experience. However, need to be aware of where the guide is located. He will be holding a sign called Magical Trip. Look for that. Also, recommended to take this experience since it’s only 2 hours. The other one is 3 hours. After a while, some people will get bored especially kids.

Amazing experience! Our guide Marie is absolutely incredible - very Friendly, knowledgeable about Sumo and patient. Highly recommend!
