It was cool seeing the rikishi practicing their sumo up close. We got to see Asanoyama Asahakuryu Asasuiryu Asashoryu during practice.
it was so interesting watching the sumos wrestling with each other and watching them practice. there’s so much practice involved before they start wrestling
Alisa was very kind and knowledgeable about the history and sport traditions of Sumo wrestling. Since our metro was on our way near the stadium, she accompanied us to give us information about. Super recommended!!!

Amazing experience. You are able to watch this super close and learn about their history & culture. Highly recommend.
our host Alisa was very kind, the training was interesting to watch, but note that seating is on cushions on the floor so the view is a bit restricted and if you are not used to sitting on the floor it can be uncomfortable after over an hour
our tour guide alison was punctual and friendly, we had a great experience and the sumo stable was clean and nice
