What to expect

Sumo is a popular Japanese martial art and combat sport with a long tradition dating back to ancient times. This tour allows you to observe a serious sumo wrestler training session and take pictures with them. While matches are viewed from a distance, this is a valuable opportunity to see the powerful wrestlers up close, which is unique to training sessions. Enjoy a rare opportunity to witness active professional sumo wrestlers engaging in serious practice up close.
