Feel & imagine the world of sumo, Japan's traditional wrestling, with this engaging interactive experience in Tokyo!
Learn about sumo training, rules, and history at a “sumo stable” restaurant. Then, step into the ring for a hands-on experience with one of the wrestlers! Afterwards, enjoy a traditional “chanko nabe” meal, the staple dish of sumo wrestlers.
This is an experience programme to learn about sumo, a traditional Japanese culture. You will learn about the training and rules of sumo and experience sumo. The programme will be conducted in English.
Learn about Sumo
We will explain sumo training, techniques, and forbidden techniques in an easy-to-understand and fun way. We also have a “Question Time” with former sumo wrestlers! We will provide detailed information about sumo and the life of a sumo wrestler.
Experience Sumo
If you wish, you can experience sumo training such as shiko and teppo in a real sumo ring, and then you can challenge a former sumo wrestler. You will actually experience the weight and power. (It is safe because you will wear a sumo suit).
Eat “Chanko Nabe” Traditional Sumo Stew (from October to June)
For lunch after the sumo experience, you will eat actual “chanko nabe”, a traditional dish of the sumo world that builds the body of a sumo wrestler. We will accommodate allergies, vegetarians, and vegans as much as possible, so please contact us.
