Limited to 25 guests per day — Special 5-Day Event for the July Grand Tournament Just before the July Grand Tournament begins, the doors to this sacred sanctuary—usually strictly closed—will swing open for you. Normally, sumo stables just before a major tournament are high-tension zones where outsiders are forbidden. This is not a tourist show, but a serious training space where professional wrestlers push their limits daily. For 5 days only, witness their raw power, discipline, and clash of souls from the best seats — an experience that cannot be felt through television. Your expert guide is a former top-tier (Makuuchi) wrestler. Competing at the highest levels for years, he offers a rare look into the true essence of sumo. He will provide live commentary, sharing behind-the-scenes insights you’ll never hear on TV—such as how wrestlers adjust just before the high-stakes tournament. Whether you are a dedicated fan or a first-time visitor, you are welcome. Enjoy the deep charm of sumo under our expert guidance. Our previous May tour sold out instantly. Secure your seats early for this exclusive opportunity. ※Please note that English interpretation is not included in this tour.
