Due to the global spread of the coronavirus, if you display symptoms such as sneezing or coughing, you may be denied entry into the sumo stable to safeguard the wrestlers' health.
Please be informed that sumo stables have the discretion to adjust their schedules, sometimes on short notice, based on tournament schedules and wrestlers' conditions. Consequently, there's a possibility that the tour might be canceled due to unforeseen changes or practice cancellations by the sumo stables. Should this occur, we will promptly provide a full refund for your booking.
Kindly note that this experience is restricted to individuals aged 12 years and above; those younger than 12 years cannot enter the sumo stable.
Most sumo stables typically require guests to sit on the floor as they don't provide chairs. Additionally, sumo stables retain the right to decline entry to guests who violate their rules. In such instances, refunds will not be issued.
Permission to photograph sumo wrestlers or take pictures with them rests solely with the sumo stables. Be prepared for the possibility that you might not be allowed to capture photos due to decisions made by the stables.
If the group size is substantial, it may be divided, with each subgroup visiting different stables.
Participants might not have access to restroom facilities during the practice session, so please ensure you use the restroom before the tour commences.
Lastly, the duration of the sumo practice can sometimes extend beyond the estimated time, potentially causing the tour to conclude later than expected.
The itinerary for this tour includes some locations that are not accessible by a wheelchair or stroller.
Out of respect for other guests and to ensure the best tour for everyone, we must start the tour on time.
You will not be able to join the tour, get a refund or reschedule if you are late for the tour and miss the group.
We might sometime ask you to change the time/date depending on the availability of the Sumo morning practice schedule.
