About this activity

Go beyond the typical tourist shows and step into the authentic sanctuary of Japan's national sport! This interactive sumo experience takes place inside a real, former sumo stable.

1. Authentic Hands-on Experience : Don't just watch a show. Learn the deep culture and rules from an expert guide, then step into the ring! Experience traditional training and actually wrestle with ex-professional sumo wrestlers.

2. Fun & Safe for Everyone : Whether you are a hardcore fan, a woman, or a child, this tour is designed for everyone. The wrestlers will playfully adjust their strength, ensuring a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience.

3. Dine with the Wrestlers : After the intense training, reward yourself by sharing a traditional "Chanko Nabe" (hearty hot pot) lunch with the wrestlers. Hear fascinating stories about their strict daily lives and values.
