Sumo wrestling is undoubtedly one of the most unique national sports in the world. Originating in Japan as early as the 1600s, it remains the only country where sumo is practiced professionally. Sumo wrestlers live in communal "stables" where every aspect of their lives is governed by strict traditions and customs. These traditions are taken very seriously, and many stables are not open to foreign visitors. Even for those that are, spectators must follow strict rules. Meet your tour group at a designated spot in Tokyo before visiting the stables to watch the wrestlers practice. Remember, don’t eat, talk loudly, or take photos with bright flashes or loud sounds, as these could distract the wrestlers!
