As the September options are almost taken, we are excited to offer a special option on October 7th. In addition to bouts by the grand champions and top division wrestlers preceded by the gorgeous ring entering ceremonies by them, this option gives you a perfect chance to view sumo from various angles including its inception; sumo was an imperial court ritual to pray for a good harvest. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to view how sumo was played in the court more than 1,000 years ago.

+++ The description below applies to the September options +++

The tour consists of two parts: visit to sumo-related historical landmarks (optional) and viewing bouts in the sumo arena with real-time commentaries－both are accompanied by a sumo expert guide. While you can take the optional landmark tour, we have also prepared a 15:00 to 18:00 o’clock option where one can just join the sumo viewing part.

1. In addition to bouts by the grand champions and top division wrestlers preceded by the gorgeous ring entering ceremonies by them, the newly added Oct. 7th option gives you a perfect chance to view sumo from various angles including its inception.

2. This tour comes in several options depending on the combination of the following: 1) Landmark/history tour 13:00 - 15:00 Sumo-related historical landmark guided tour. This is a walking tour around Ryogoku, a sumo town, to increase the joy of watching the tournament by learning a lot about sumo from your knowledgeable guide as you visit many sumo-related must-see spots before you actually view the bouts in the arena. 2) Viewing bouts in the arena 15:00 - 18:00 Enjoy the bouts as you listen to the real-time commentaries from your expert guide, and get excited as you join the excited spectators! 3) Chanko dinner option This nutrient dish is the centerpiece of sumo wrestlers’ diets to gain weight and muscles to build their bodies. 4) Chair option We will use chair seats on the balcony in the arena; if you opt to stay on the first floor, you would need to sit on a flat floor. This means you can sit comfortably in a chair all the time, unlike box seats on the first floor where four spectators are seated on a 1.3m x 1.3m flat square floor with cushions. You will be seated either in chair B or C ; the seating map in the photo section shows their detailed locations.

3. While infants (0 - 3 year old) are free of charge, please let us know how many of them will come if you take any to the tour.
