If you want to watch the "REAL" Sumo wrestlers up close, this is one of the closest you can get! Basically, the stables are located at Tokyo, but sometimes in a year, they do practice in Osaka! Let’s watch the wrestler’s morning practice right next to the ring and feel the intense and serious atmosphere. The sound of wrestlers colliding to each other, their breath and the scent of the fragrance they wear are something that you can never feel by watching any videos. *The practice area is located at outside.You will meet with your knowledgeable tour guide at the station and walk to the stable(15 mins walk). Your guide will explain you about Sumo, its history, rules and regulations before entering the stable and then watch it together.
