Tokyo Authentic Sumo Experience - Master the Art of Sumo

We had an incredible experience at the family sumo session and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Japan. The experience felt intimate and exclusive, making it so much more personal than we expected. Hearing Tensi share stories from his 17-year career in sumo and learning what it takes to become a sumo master was fascinating. He explained the traditions, techniques, and culture in a way that was engaging for both adults and children. The highlight for our family was the hands-on experience. Our son absolutely loved learning the techniques and even getting the chance to go one-on-one with a real sumo master—an experience he’ll never forget! It was interactive, authentic, and so much fun. Thank you for giving our family such a unique insight into the world of sumo. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan!

This tour was an absolute blast. We had a great time with our guides, trying our hand at sumo exercises and then wrestling. We got some excellent videos from the tour- including some hilarious fails against the resident professionals. Strongly recommend this tour- and make sure you try the Chanko!

what a fantastic experience, love every minute. The team were amazing, Tyson and hiroko were great. we would definitely recommend you really get to get stuck in and try some of the techniques.

We had an absolutely incredible time at the Tokyo Sumo Festival! Getting hands-on training from a Makuuchi wrestler was an amazing opportunity. The entire experience was well-organized, fascinating, and deeply authentic. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Tokyo!"

An absolutely amazing experience! We had a blast from start to finish, laughed a lot, and learned so much about the art and traditions of sumo. The sumo wrestlers were adorable, super friendly, and really approachable. We had a great time that was funny, convivial, and very enriching. We recommend it 100%!

Amazing experience! They were very accommodating in translating everything. I learned a lot about sumo and even got to try some training. It was super fun and truly a great experience (and definitely a good workout!).

It was my first time ever trying sumo, and it turned out to be one of the best and most memorable experiences of my life! The instructors and staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the session. Watching the two sumo wrestlers demonstrate their skills was truly impressive, and everyone gets a real chance to participate and learn about sumo traditions firsthand. The price is very reasonable and absolutely worth every penny. I can’t recommend this unique experience enough to anyone who wants to dive into Japanese sumo culture!

Great experience with amezing sumo masters, i truly valued the time i got to spend with these masters, next time i am coming to japan i will do it again, thanks.

Had an amazing time learning, training, and fighting amongst real sumo wrestlers. The workouts were real and intense! Thank you to the sumo wrestlers and staff that helped us on the day!

An unforgettable, authentic sumo experience! Must-do in Tokyo! If you are visiting Japan, you cannot miss this! Learning directly from a former professional sumo wrestler was a humbling and eye-opening experience. Wearing the authentic mawashi and step onto the dohyo made me feel like a real rikishi for a moment. The training—from shiko to suriashi—was tough, and my legs were definitely burning by the end, but getting to actually spar with a former pro in the ring was thrilling! You even get to try on a keisho-mawashi and take amazing photos. The staff were super friendly and the whole operation was seamless (they even provided clothes, so you don't need to bring anything). At the end, we received personalized certificates which made a great souvenir. This wasn’t just a tourist activity; it was a deep dive into the discipline, tradition, and physicality of sumo. 100% recommended!
