Reviews
Absolutely unforgettable Sumo experience! My girlfriend and I booked the experience including Sumo training, lunch and the traditional hair-binding ceremony. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. The training was completely authentic, not just a performance for tourists. The Sumo stable has a wonderful atmosphere, beautifully combining tradition and modern elements. Lunch was another highlight. Eating while experiencing the preparations and rituals of the wrestlers gave us a fascinating insight into their daily life. We were very happy to have chosen this package. A very special thank you to our host, Kyokutaisei Takuya, a former Sumo wrestler. He was incredibly friendly, open and happy to answer all our questions. We also sincerely thank Oshima-oyakata, the stable master and head coach, and everyone involved for welcoming us so warmly. If you are in Tokyo and interested in Sumo or Japanese culture, do not miss this experience!
