Product Info

-What you can expect-
Embark on a journey into Japanese culture with a knowledgeable guide, who will provide insights into sumo's rich history and rituals. **Witness an authentic live morning sumo practice — not a staged show —** capture commemorative photos, and enjoy being guided by a sumo specialist who is also a national newspaper journalist. Get a chance to ask all the questions you want!

This exclusive tour, granted special permission from a sumo stable, unveils the authentic world of sumo and its wrestlers, a realm even unfamiliar to many locals. Hosted by an operator specialized in sports-related tours, this experience promises to be a Tokyo highlight.

After watching authentic sumo practice at a sumo stable, you can visit a lush Japanese garden on the way to Ryogoku Kokugikan (sumo arena). Enjoy a rare glimpse into the world of sumo — a privilege seldom accessible even to the Japanese people.
