  • This tour offers an authentic tour of sumo wrestling, Japan's national sport. There are various rules for watching sumo practice, and if you watch alone, you may be warned by officials and wrestlers, and in extreme cases, you may even be forced to leave. At "Sumo Pro," we provide a guide with extensive sumo knowledge. To ensure guests feel at ease, we place ourselves between the sumo stables and the guests, allowing you to watch with peace of mind. Our dedicated guide also provides written commentary during practice. While the practice is rigorous and monotonous, you may become bored midway through. We offer detailed explanations of what the wrestlers are doing and what they are discussing. Unlike other tours, this tour is not just a simple observation. We have designed it with the goal of providing our guests with an enjoyable and engaging experience of sumo. We hope you will take advantage of our tour. While conversations are generally strictly prohibited during practice observations, our interpreters will communicate in writing (in English) to answer any questions you may have, including explanations of the current practice, conversations between the masters, explanations of the matches, and any questions you may have. After practice, you can also communicate with the active wrestlers through your guide, and we will answer any questions you may have until your concerns are resolved. Unlike a practice observation where you simply watch the practice and then leave, a guide specialized in sumo will accompany you and guide you through the entire experience. ~Schedule~ 1. Contact us the day before to confirm the location, meeting time, and important points. 2. Meet at the entrance to the stable on the day of the observation. *Please be sure to be on time. 3. Observe the practice for approximately 40 minutes to an hour (the observation time may vary depending on the practice content and the wrestlers' physical condition). 4. During the observation, your English interpreter will communicate in writing with you regarding any questions you may have. 5. After practice, take a commemorative photo with the wrestlers and have a Q&A session in front of the entrance. 6. Dismiss the observation in front of the entrance to the stable. *Please be sure to read the "Important Notes" and "Special Instructions" at the bottom of this page. Please apply only if you agree to these terms. Please note that once you apply, you are deemed to have agreed to all of the above. *The images are for reference only. The number of wrestlers participating in practice and the content of the practice may vary depending on the sumo stable you visit or the time of year you visit. Please note that the health of the wrestlers is given top priority during practice.
