• Come face to face with Japanese culture that has been kept alive through many years, such as the presence of a referee which began in the Sengoku period (about 1467-1603)
• Use of vivid 'kesho-mawashi' ceremonial aprons and the ring entering procession which continued from the Edo period (1603-1868)
• A tour guided by a National Government Licensed English Guide Interpreter knowledgeable about sumo wrestling
• Watch sumo, Japan's national sport, from comfortable reserved S/A/B-class seating (chair seating)

It's arguably the number one thing to do in Tokyo to complete your Japan trip: the unique chance to watch a real sumo match! Soak up the electric atmosphere around Ryogkoku, the prime area for sumo wrestling in Tokyo, as you make your way to the stadium with your coveted ticket in hand for the annual Grand Sumo Tournament. Experience this 1,500-year-old Japanese tradition accompanied by the indispensable knowledge of your English-speaking guide. You'd better act fast, the event only runs for a couple of weeks in January, May and September, and tickets sell out very quickly!
