[Tokyo Sumo Stable] Sumo Viewing & Experience
Let’s enter a real sumo stable, not a stage set! Let’s learn about the history and culture of sumo!
- Let's watch a powerful sumo match while eating chanko hot pot!
- Let’s get on the dohyo and experience sumo! Let’s take a commemorative photo with the sumo wrestlers!
What to expect
This sumo stable is a sacred sumo stable where the legendary yokozuna Kitanoumi actually coached as stablemaster. This is the only place in Japan, right here at the [Tokyo Sumo Stable], where you can watch a sumo show in an actual sumo stable that was used as a training ground. Rather than a stage set, you can experience the authentic history of sumo.
While eating chanko nabe in that sumo stable, a guide will explain the history and rules of sumo in English.
Witness the powerful sight of retired professional sumo wrestlers colliding right before your eyes. Seven guests per time slot will have the opportunity to experience a sumo training session.
Even those who do not participate in the experience can step up onto the ring at the end to take commemorative photos with the wrestlers.
This is an activity that both adults and children who know nothing about sumo can enjoy.
Please note that if there are very few participants wishing to take part in the sumo experience, the event may end earlier than scheduled. We appreciate your understanding.
*Chanko nabe is served only to those who select the plan including chanko nabe for the 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM time slots. Please note that it is not provided for other time slots or for plans that include only the sumo show. Vegetarians, please inform the staff on the day of the event.









Reviews
Had a really pleasant and entertaining evening! The show consisted of explanations of sumo basics (what it is, winning condition, history and others) and demo of sumo moves by two (retired) wrestlers and audiences vs the wrestlers. The management was smooth, stable manager (Ms. Mayuko) was really kind and accomodating. If you choose show and meal, they even have vegetarian option! Will recommend this to everyone who would like to know more about or try out sumo!
After searching through multiple locations online, I am very glad we chose to come to this one! From the absolute get go, the host and staff were extremely welcoming and helpful (especially with our 3 year old). We loved that the venue was an old stable and provided an authentic atmosphere. The food was delicious (even offering us seconds!) and the demonstrations were entertaining and enjoyable. We also loved that we got to interact and take photos with the team after! HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TOKYO STAY! Would highly recommend!!!
Unforgettable experience! My mother and grandmother loved getting in the ring with real rikishi (sumo wrestlers).
It was an excellent experience! The presentation was berry interesting and fun. The presenter had great energy and you could tell she really likes sumo! The food was great (daily stable diet). The two sumo wrestlers were fun and very talented. I had a great time! Highly recommend!
I was dubious about going to the sumo. Very “ touristy “ in fact it was a perfect blend of education and entertainment. The four of us had a great time. BYW it is based in an old sumo stable and is very authentic.
it was a perfect balance between fun and insightful! the presenter was very entertaining. a big thank you to the sumo westlers. I recommend trying the experience if you can. I tried my best to push them but they didn’t move a inch! big respect 😅
We really enjoyed this experience! It is geared towards tourists, so you do need to know that upfront. The first maybe 30 minutes are informative about sumo and then you meet the wrestlers. All of the staff seemed very happy and passionate. The wrestlers and the host were very welcoming and engaging. We had a great time.
Fun evening! Very enjoyable way to learn more about sumo history and training. The emcee was great, funny, related well to audience and engaging, servers were very nice, and the two retired sumo wrestlers were wonderful with entertaining personalities.
Brilliant, very good show, very good food and a guaranteed 2 hours of laughter and pure enjoyment. very well run operation and highly recommend taking part in the experience of sumo wrestling. would do it again
My group and I were visiting from Canada and booked this show. We absolutely loved it! The show was informative, entertaining and even humourous at times. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an overview of the sport, its history and a demonstration.
