Restrictions
- People with mobility issues are not permitted on the tour. Guests will be asked to sit down on the tatami or the wooden floor with a flat cushion for a couple hours in the sumo stable. Chairs are not available.
- In case the stable needs to accommodate as many visitors as they can, they may ask you for cooperation to wait at the entrance of the stable until other groups arrive.
Also, there may be a case where your private tour guide will be requested to be temporarily absent during the training session. - This activity is not wheelchair accessible.
- Guests using crutches, walking sticks, walkers, etc. are not permitted to participate in this activity.

- Please be quiet in the stable. Even whispering may disturb the wrestlers.
- Do not stand in the ring or on the sandy ground. - - At the entrance of the stable, please take off your shoes. Then sit cross-legged on the floor. Do not stretch your legs toward the ring. It is considered impolite to show the soles of your feet to the wrestlers.

- Do not eat, drink or smoke inside the stable.
- You can take photos during the training, but do not stand or move about. Do not use flash or cameras with loud shutter sound.
- Please turn off your mobile/cell phone. - - Once you start watching the training, you are supposed to stay until the wrestlers finish their training so please do not leave the stable while the training is ongoing.
