Watch the Sumo morning training at a Sumo table in Tokyo
Dive into the captivating world of Sumo, a distinctly Japanese sport with a rich history spanning over a millennium. Today, Sumo wrestlers maintain their ancient traditions, residing in dedicated sumo stables, and engaging in rigorous daily practice sessions.
Local guides will explain the history, roots, customs, and even the appeal of sumo
Sumo has a long history, and there are many fascinating aspects that cannot be understood only by watching sumo. Since private conversation is strictly prohibited during the practice tour, we will also provide supplementary materials for the tour.
We'll then take a leisurely stroll through Ryogoku, the revered heartland of Sumo, uncovering its rich tapestry of sumo-related landmarks.
