What to expect

Sumo wrestling is one of Japan's most iconic traditional sports, and regional tours are special matches held in cities across the country, allowing wrestlers to compete outside of the formal arena. Compared to official tournaments, regional tours have a more relaxed pace and are better suited for tourists experiencing sumo for the first time.

This itinerary will take you to Yokohama Pia Arena to watch a sumo regional tour match live. You can fully experience everything from the wrestlers' entrance and pre-match rituals to the official duels. The matches are fast-paced and direct, making it easy to understand even if you are not familiar with the rules.

The tour departs from Tokyo on the same day, taking public transportation to Yokohama. The itinerary is only one day long, and you can disband after watching the match, without affecting your subsequent personal travel arrangements, making it suitable for tourists who want to experience Japanese traditional culture in a limited amount of time.

If you want to quickly understand Japanese traditional culture, sumo wrestling is really worth seeing in person.

The sumo wrestler's physique is exaggerated, but their movements are not slow at all. What's really being compared is explosive power and stability.

Seeing it live is completely different from watching a video; the sounds of impact and footsteps are especially realistic.
