This sumo stable is a sacred place where the great Yokozuna Kitanoumi actually trained as an oyakata (stable master). It is the only place in Japan, here at [Tokyo Sumo Stable], where you can watch a sumo show in a sumo stable that was actually used as a training ground. You can experience the real history of sumo, not just a stage set. At this sumo stable, a guide will explain the history and rules of sumo in English while you enjoy chanko nabe (sumo wrestler's hot pot). Witness the powerful spectacle of retired professional sumo wrestlers clashing right before your eyes. Seven people per time slot can experience sumo training. Even those who do not participate in the training can go up to the dohyo (sumo ring) at the end and take a commemorative photo with the sumo wrestlers. This activity can be enjoyed by both adults and children who know nothing about sumo. Please note that if there are few participants for the sumo experience, the event may end earlier than scheduled. *Chanko nabe is only served
