Tokyo Sumo: Train on a real yokozuna dohyo & enjoy chanko hotpot
・Train on the legendary dohyō where four Yokozuna and numerous top-division wrestlers once trained. ・Experience sumo practice in the same ring where real Yokozuna honed their skills. ・Enjoy the daily meals of sumo wrestlers together with a former top-division wrestler. ・Take commemorative photos with the wrestlers (smartphones welcome; staff can assist with taking photos).
What to expect
Asahifuji Sumo Dojo (Training & Meal Experience) Step inside the traditional dojo of the 63rd Yokozuna, Asahifuji, who trained his disciples here for 33 years. This authentic arena has produced four Yokozuna and over ten sekitori. Join real sumo wrestlers for hands-on training and try stepping onto the dohyō yourself.
Sumo has a 1,500-year history, and only about 70 wrestlers out of 1,000 reach sekitori rank—becoming a Yokozuna is even rarer. This experience lets you interact closely with wrestlers trained by a true legend.
After practice, enjoy chanko nabe, the hearty hot pot that fuels sumo wrestlers. A one-of-a-kind cultural experience available only here.
Good to know
・The price shown is per person. ・If many guests wish to challenge the former sumo wrestler, one representative may be selected from each group, or participants may be chosen by lottery.
