[Sumo Morning Practice Option]
Step into the hidden world of sumo wrestling with our exclusive Tokyo Sumo Morning Practice Tour. This is your rare chance to sit just a few feet away from professional wrestlers as they train with full intensity inside an authentic sumo stable.
Unlike shows, this is the real thing—raw, powerful, and deeply traditional. You’ll feel the ground shake with every clash, hear the heavy breaths of the rikishi, and sense the discipline and spirit that have defined sumo for centuries
[ Sumo Training With Wrestler Option]
Sumo stables are rarely open to outsiders. But this program offers something truly extraordinary: the chance to observe and learn directly from real, active Sumo wrestlers who live and breathe the sport every single day.
This is an intimate glimpse into the raw intensity of Sumo training, just meters away from the ring. You’ll feel the power, the discipline, and the spirit of the sport as it unfolds before you.
