Cần Quan Tâm

You can say that sumo must be one of the world's most unique national sports. Sumo originated in Japan as early as the 1600s and Japan remains the only country where this heavyweight sport is practiced professionally. Fighters live in communal 'stables' where every aspect of their daily lives is dictated by strict tradition. These traditions, etiquette, and customs are not taken lightly. Many sumo stables are not open to foreign visitors, and for those that are, even spectators are expected to adhere to specific rules. Visit the stables and watch the wrestlers practice the art of sumo. Make sure not to eat, talk loudly, or take photos with bright flashes or loud noises so you don't distract the wrestlers!

Great experience!

Such a cool experience! Was awesome watching real Sumo practice and experiencing serious training. Would strongly recommend doing! A great cultural experience. A couple things to note: there was not explanation about the sport, history, levels of wrestler, training regimen, etc. which would have been nice. No necessary, but I personally like history of. Also, there are no pictures allowed while they are training. Lastly, it was a solid 2 hours when we went. There are many rules for how you may watch/sit and no chairs (I had a back injury and the tour operator was able to accommodate, but that is not always the case). Strongly recommend! A worthwhile adventure! Would absolutely do it again!
Great!

It was a fantastic experience! The sumo practice felt very authentic and not touristy at all. The sumo practice lasted 2+ hours and we felt that we saw every sumo wrestler within this experience. The only negative thing was that at times the coach was sat right in front of us and so we couldn’t see what was going on. We had to wait for the coach to move to the side so we could see. Also the trip advisor lead seated us in a random order so my friend and I who are very short was sat at the back and found it hard to see. Apart from that, I would definitely recommend this experience!

It's a fabulous experience but be prepared for total silence and 2 hours of sitting with your legs tucked. I recommended reading up on how the rekishi hierarchies work.
Was one of the best...

Was one of the best experiences to be so up close with the wrestlers. It is once in a lifetime experience.

It was an interesting experience, but it was a little difficult to see and we were a lot of people in little space. It wasn't exactly worth the money
Do not go unless want to be bored

From reading thought it was standing and could request a chair. It was sitting the whole time. Was a bit boring watching them do the same exercise for 25 minutes. Part of it was neat to watch. Zero explaination or places to ask questions. Those that got explainations were people who paid through different companies. Do not recommend.
Worth the (considerable) effort

Glad I went, it was amazing to see. The brute strength of the wrestlers is something you have to see in person. You sit to the side and observe and are quiet as a mouse. You sit on the floor, there are chairs but the view isn't very good if you sit in a chair. It was way further out of town then I realized when I did research, it took a Subway and then to trains and then about a 10-minute walk to get there. I'm glad I allowed 2 hours from central Tokyo. Try to get there a little early so you get a seat with an unobstructed view.
Good exposure to a Sumo practice

The performance of the practising sumo wrestlers was exactly as we expected. They were professional, serious and taught us how they learn in their actions. I was disappointed that we had no information from Viator on or about the event.
Good experience, but the timing is way off, and we missed the photo session.

This was a cool experience, and we really enjoyed watching the Sumo practice. Unfortunately it ran long, so we missed the photo session with the sumo wrestlers at the end. It was supposed to run 8:00-9:30, and we and most other guests left at 10:30 because we had other things to see, and no one told us how much longer it would go. A cool experience, but if you want to get photos don’t plan anything within a few hours after, in case it keeps going. Most things in Japan run exactly on time, but this one was wildly off.
