Tokyo, Japan

2 hours 20 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: Japanese and 1 more

This is not a sumo comedy show with fake wrestlers, but a passionate training session by real, active sumo wrestlers.

Sumo is a Japanese national sport. It is very sacred and most powerful. Let's go to see the Sumo training at a stable!

It is a valuable experience to be able to see serious training right in front of you and can feel the breath and heat up close, which you can't feel in a big game. What is happening is we will provide live commentary using our original documents!
You can see it closer than the matches and you will feel the sound of the fight and the passion of the wrestlers.
After training, you can take photos with wrestlers.

Sumo wrestling matches are held far away many times a year. In addition, there are other training camps, so the time I'm in Tokyo is less. Date requests are not accepted.

It is not easy to visit even for Japanese people. Please join us for this experience!
