[도쿄] Grand Sumo Tournament Tour in Tokyo

• What sets apart this tour conducted by our sumo expert guides is:
• 1) Its focus on the origin, history, and culture of sumo
• 2) Real-time commentaries in the sumo arena as the match progresses.
• 3) Small group tour up to 10 participants
• The tour consists of two parts: visit to sumo-related historical landmarks and viewing bouts in the sumo arena with real-time commentaries－both are accompanied by a sumo expert guide.
• Here are some details.
• 1. Walking tour around Ryogoku, a sumo town
• Visit sumo-related historical landmarks and look at sumo stables from outside where sumo wrestlers live and train. Increase joy of watching the tournament by learning a lot about sumo from your knowledgeable guide as you visit many sumo related must-see spots before you actually view the bouts in the arena.
• 2. While the tour entails the two essential and integral parts, we have prepared a 15:00 to 18:00 o’clock option where one can just join the sumo viewing part.

13:00 - 15:00 This part (optional) is to deepen knowledge about sumo history and culture to enhance joy of watching sumo later in the arena. Toward that end, you will visit historical sumo landmarks and sumo stables. Major must-see landmarks the guide will take you to are: 1) Hakkaku-beya Sumo Stable (15min) 2) Nomi no Sukune Shrine (15min) 3) Ryogoku Kokugikan (30min) 4) Ryōgoku Edo NOREN (30min) 5) Ekō-in (15min) 6) Kasugano-beya Sumo Stable (15min)
