Tokyo Ginza Sumo Experience: Performance vs Pure Practice

Tokyo Sumo Festival — Step Into Japan's Powerful Tradition

In Ginza, enjoy two sumo experiences led by retired pros.

Plan A: Entertainment Show Sit near the dohyo to watch explosive bouts and rituals. Participate by throwing salt, trying gestures, or a lottery-based “Challenge Sumo.” Bottomless chanko-nabe and drinks included. Not an official competition.

Plan B: Asa-Geiko — Authentic Training 60-minute hands-on session with a retired wrestler. Learn shiko, suri-ashi, and butsukari-geiko at your pace. Wear the kesho-mawashi for a memorable photo.

Note (Plan B): Not for children under 5, pregnant guests, or those with health issues. Each group of guests can book only one of either Plan A or Plan B.; children need a guardian.
