If you want to watch the REAL Sumo wrestlers up close, this is one of the closest you can get!

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.

You will meet with your knowledgeable tour guide at the station and walk to the stable(10mins walk). Your guide will explain you about Sumo, its history, rules and regulations before entering the stable and then watch it together. You will see the unique traditional sports which is at the same time religious rituals, originally started to entertain the Shinto deities.

If you are lucky, you will get to take photos with the wrestlers after the practice outside of the stable!

I feel like I saw something special. Watching the wrestlers practice was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This wasn't some overly-curated, perfectly planned and sanitized event. These guys were out there, working, training, and struggling to get better. And we got to watch it all. It was nice because we got to watch dozens of matches during the tour. If we had gone to an actual tournament, we probably wouldn't have seen have as many matches, with all the ceremony involved. But these guys went to war over and over and over again. And our English-speaking guide helped narrate what we were seeing through our headsets. It was a great experience with a reputable sumo stable. When I showed our Japanese taxi driver our picture with the sumo wrestlers from after the event, he was genuinely impressed. He said that we were at a real legitimate stable...and honestly, he looked a little jealous.
Awesome!

This experience was so cool! It was amazing to watch the sumo wrestlers up close and learn about the traditions, training, and history behind the sport. The guides were super friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything easy to understand — even the rituals that might seem mysterious at first. It was both fascinating and fun, and I left with a whole new appreciation for sumo culture. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! What an incredible experience to see and learn about this Japanese tradition up close. We were very close to the practice so you could see very well. We were simply amazed by the strength and power and learn about some of the up and coming sumo wrestlers. And you get a picture with some of the wrestlers at the end. Will remember this forever!

This was a very good experience and the tour guide was very interesting. I would suggest that if you are planning on this tour you just choose to meet at the stable- we were supposed to meet at Ryogoku Station but no one was there. Thankfully, we decided to just walk ourselves and made it in time for the show. But, this did not detract from the experience at all.

While the experience of observing the Sumo Wrestlers was very interesting, it was very distracting to have someone talking into our headsets at the same time. This caused tremendous distraction and it was difficult to observe the wrestlers and listen simultaneously. It would have been very helpful to have had the information provided on line or with a handout to review prior to attending the practice session. The audio headsets were poor quality, with static, making it very difficult to hear the speaker. It would have been better for the speaker to only point out special moves or specific information during the practice rather than providing history and other information which we could review prior to the practice. It was a great experience to observe the practice, but we felt very disappointed in the audio portion.
Super touristy and not worth the price tag

Overpriced for the experience - as much as it’s a privilege to see sumos practicing in action. A - depending on the seat you are in, can be hard to view the sumos properly B - the commentary is great for 1hr but is not as engaging as it could be C - you get photo time at the end for around 5mins or less and then you get rushed out Overall the whole watching experience could be shorter - there should also be some type of Q&A You leave the session with more questions than actual answers.
Highlight of our trip!

This was the highlight of our trip! This was such a unique experience to watch. Get there early to line up to get a better seat as we walk in with who lined up first to get the 2nd row seats. (Front is reserved for sponsors, etc). This was seriously so cool to watch and we got to take pictures with them after. I learned so much! I think this was better than a tournament because you got to see constant activity and how they train.
Fascinating but pricey

This was such a wonderful glimpse into the world of sumo wrestling! We very much enjoyed it! We felt it was a bit pricey for what you get however. If $ is no object, definitely go!
