Overview
  • The three most popular Japan culture experiences are sushi making, tea ceremony and sumo watching.
  • Here, you will see REAL SUMO WRESTLERS do their morning practice sessions to go up the hierarchy and achieve their dreams to be up there.
  • Note that this is not a sumo entertainment show but the real thing: authentic.
  • Unlike other practice sessions out there, you will NOT be sitting on the floor on a cushion but GIVEN A SEAT so that it is easier on the knee.
  • You will be given an information session by an experienced local guide so that you are more versed on sumo and its context. Not just a take me to a sumo stable and bye-bye arrangement. Of course, you can bypass the information session should you have time restraints.
  • The tour session would end around 1000-1030.
  • Should you want to participate in the OPTIONAL Ginza/Nohonbashi tour, let us know in advance. This 4 hour tour is 15000JPY per person but can be given for an additional 5000JPY for those who participated in this tour.
