Guided by professional English speakers! Explore the historical sites of Ryogoku, the holy land of sumo wrestling.

To fully experience the allure of sumo, this is an unmissable in-depth tour! We've arranged for a professional English-speaking guide to lead you through the streets and alleys of Ryogoku, the mecca of sumo. From historically significant temples to sumo museums, the guide will eloquently recount the deep historical connection between Ryogoku and sumo. On the way to the Kokugikan (National Sumo Arena), the guide will also explain the basic rules of sumo and key points for watching matches, providing the perfect warm-up for the exciting matches to come!

Tickets are extremely difficult to obtain! Guaranteed to get a seat in Section A or Section B on the 2nd floor of the Ryogoku Kokugikan.

Top-tier tickets that always sell out during the season are reserved for you! This itinerary includes tickets to watch a sumo match at the Ryogoku Kokugikan, specifically the highly popular "A-zone reserved seats (Isu-seat A)" or "B-zone reserved seats (Isu-seat B)" on the 2nd floor.

Unlike traditional seated kimonos (masu-ki) that require sitting cross-legged for extended periods and are less welcoming to foreign travelers, we have specially selected individual chairs with ample legroom and comfort! Even tall travelers can enjoy the impressive and exciting duels between the wrestlers on the dohyo without any burden or discomfort.
