- What to expect
-
Would you like to experience the world of sumo, a traditional Japanese culture, up close at an authentic sumo stable? During the morning practice, you can observe the sumo wrestlers working hard through rigorous training. You can witness powerful training sessions up close, such as "shiko" (foot-stomping), "teppo" (repeatedly thrusting hands against a wooden pillar), and "butsukari-geiko" (heavy contact training where wrestlers slam into each other). Feel the ground-shaking sounds and the intense energy of the wrestlers as you experience the strictness and spirit of sumo passed down through its long history. After practice, enjoy "chanko-nabe," a traditional hot pot dish essential to the wrestlers' diet. This is a precious opportunity to experience the daily lives of sumo wrestlers while enjoying the unique food culture of a sumo stable. In addition, a professional guide will accompany you to provide easy-to-understand explanations of sumo history, unique etiquette, and the meaning behind the training. Eve
