Tokyo Real Sumo Morning Practice with Expert Reporter

Nakakamangha ang karanasang ito at hindi isang uri ng huwad na palabas panturista. Nakita ko talaga ang mga sumo wrestler na nagsasanay at naglalabanan sa isa sa pinakamalaking stable. Ang tour guide din ay dating peryodista ng sumo at may malawak na kaalaman at pagmamahal sa sumo, gustung-gusto ko ang lahat ng kwentong ibinahagi niya tungkol sa sumo at ang kanyang karanasan.

Ito na talaga ang pinakamagandang karanasan ko sa Japan sa loob ng 3 linggo. Sulit ang bawat sentimong ginastos ko! Nakakaakit ang bawat sumo dahil sa kanilang paraan ng pag-eensayo sa umagang iyon. Si Setsu talaga ang bituin ng umaga, sa kanyang sigla at pasensya sa masayang kalooban, ginabayan niya kami mula sa isang nakakagulat patungo sa isa pang nakakagulat. Lubos kong inirerekomenda ang tour na ito sa lahat ng aking mga kaibigan at pati na rin sa mga taong interesado sa tour na ito. Sige lang nang walang pag-aalinlangan, mauunawaan mo ang aking nararamdaman ngayon. Mabuhay!

Both guides were very knowledgeable and helpful sharing not only about Sumo but Tokyo in general. Watching practice was an amazing opportunity. The Takasago stable is very talented!

Brilliant! The tour offered a really unique opportunity to watch professional sumo wrestlers during their morning practice. When I started to search for a sumo tour I had naively expected to have many options to watch actual sumo wrestlers in Tokyo, but found that almost all the options are actually shows put on for tourists which are not real sumo wrestlers so I was very pleased to find this tour. Now just a week later, we are watching the Grand Sumo tournament on the television cheering for the sumo wrestlers of Takasago stable - the same sumo wrestlers we were watching in person! If you want an authentic experience, this tour is perfect!

These guys are the real deal—intense, powerful, and surprisingly agile, with real action (we saw bloody noses and possibly a broken tooth). The guides are professional, welcoming, and eager to share their expert insights and stories before and after the tour. I’ll be talking about this one for a long time! It’s an early start and I found the seating uncomfortable, but maybe that’s just me. 5-star experience and the highlight of our 5-day trip to Tokyo. Higly recommend.

If you like or are curious about the world of sumo, this tour is wonderful. It reflects a spiritual and sporting side of Japan that I deeply admire, and the guides were charming, sharing curious and very interesting facts. Not only during the visit to the sumo stable, but also in the following tour, the visit to the museum, the Ryogoku neighborhood in Tokyo itself, and so on. It was a wonderful activity that goes beyond typical tourist spots and allows you to appreciate the incredible dedication of these professional wrestlers. Thank you!

Expérience unique ! L’opportunité de voir un véritable entraînement de Sumo, avec des explications ensuite sur leur vie au quotidien données par notre guide; c’était passionnant. Nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir assister ensuite à un tournoi officiel de Sumo, ce qui a rendu l’expérience encore plus unique. Un grand merci !

Truly an unforgettable experience!Watching sumo training up close was both thrilling and eye opening. We really appreciated that it offered a genuine window into the sumo world in a dignified manner. There was no performing or entertaining for visitors, just a respectful glimpse into the wrestler’s daily routines. The atmosphere at the sumo stable was authentic. Communication prior to our visit was good and our guides were knowledgeable and friendly, explaining the traditions and training with care. The wrestlers themselves were impressive, so strong, agile, and focused. This experience is perfect for anyone visiting Tokyo who wants a unique cultural adventure beyond the usual tourist spots. Highly recommended!

由於小時候曾跟著是相撲迷的爸媽收看相撲競技，對這個運動有著興趣及認識。這次能深入部屋近距離觀察選手的生活及訓練，除了滿足好奇心之外，更提供了專業的知識及與該部屋的情感連結。導覽人員非常專業，看得出來是個瘋狂的相撲迷，他解釋了很多相撲的知識及小故事，是個很棒的行程體驗及導覽！Growing up watching sumo matches with my parents, who are big fans, I’ve always had a keen interest in and understanding of this sport. Being able to step inside the stable and observe the wrestlers' daily lives and training from such a close distance not only satisfied my curiosity but also provided professional insights and a deep emotional connection to the stable.The tour guide was incredibly professional and clearly a hardcore sumo enthusiast themselves. He shared so much sumo knowledge and captivating backstories. It was truly an outstanding tour and a fantastic guiding experience!

My 20 year old son and me went to this event. We did not know what to expect but it surpassed any expectations we had. The endless hard work that these Sumo Wrestlers put in 6 days a week for years in incredibly difficult. The history and facts that are shared with us on the tour after the training ends was a bonus we weren’t expecting. We learned so much about why someone chooses to become a Sumo Wrestler and what rules apply to the wrestler if they choose to take this career path. It’s discipline on another level. our tour guide was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable.
