Train Like a Champion — A Sumo Workshop in Tokyo

Out of roughly 700 active sumo wrestlers in Japan, only about 40 ever reach the elite "Makuuchi" division — and your instructor is one of them. Spend an unforgettable hour learning directly from a top-ranked wrestler in the heart of Tokyo.

Our ring welcomes everyone — men, women, and children train side by side. Perfect for families, couples, and friends.

After your session, wrap yourself in a hand-embroidered kesho-mawashi for a champion's photo, and take home a shikishi board signed and handprinted by your instructor.

Review for: (no use)Hands-On Sumo Training with Makuuchi Wrestler and Photo in Kesho-Mawashi

One of the most funny and interesting experience on my trip (and I tried many things). Very nice atmosphere, friendly hosts and a real experience. Highly recommended!

Review for: Hands-On Sumo Training with Makuuchi Wrestler and Photo in Kesho-Mawashi

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!

An absolutely INCREDIBLE, EXCEPTIONAL experience with real sumo wrestlers who share their passions, culture, and way of life with us. A truly unique and enriching experience! They break down every movement and provide explanations for everything. We participate from start to finish with fundamental exercises for sumo practice. A special moment filled with wonder from beginning to end. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment.

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!
