Sumo Wrestlers Morning Practice & Special Access Viewing

Reviewed by: Joyce

Our tour guide was EXCELLENT! Her impeccable explanations surpassed expectations! I had so much more to talk about but there was not enough time afterwards as transportation took awhile. Hope to do this again...soon! May she have continued success escorting visitors.

Sumo Wrestlers Morning Practice and Special Access Viewing in Tokyo with Pick-up

Amazing Sumo Morning Practice

Reviewed by: Amanda

This was by far one of the coolest experiences we had during our three week trip to Japan. Our amazing tour guide (wish I could remember how to spell his name), met us in the lobby of our hotel then took us by train to the sumo stable. Before getting there he gave a us a helpful rundown about sumo wrestling and what to expect. At the practice we sat front row, close enough to touch the wrestler's. Seeing how strong and big they're was impressive. We also got to see just how hard they work. The only downside was sitting cross-legged on a thin mat for an hour and a half, which was a bit uncomfortable. I had to keep shifting my position.This may not be a good tour choice for someone who has knee or back problems. Because we were visiting during Golden Week, the main stadium building was open and we got to see that and the Sumo Museum as well. Just to give you an idea of how wonderful our guide was, after our sumo tour he took us via train to Tokyo Dome and helped us buy tickets for that days baseball game. He totally went out of his way to help us and did it all with a smile. What a world class tour guide and overall experience.

Dear Amanda,

Thank you very much for your feedback!
I'm sure our guide - Mr.Osamu Inoue - is really glad to hear your comment.

Not only sumo experience, but we also offers various Japanese cultural experience with great instructors like Mr.Osamu.
Please come by at another time in case you are to visit Japan again!

Many thanks and kind regards,

English Sumo Lesson and Practice Match in Tokyo

Great workout and good intro into the mechanics of sumo

Reviewed by: Nick

I absolutely loved this lesson. I have trained in various other grappling arts and this lesson did a great job breaking down the basics, teaching you the ceremony/history, and giving you a hard workout.

I would recommend going with at least one of your friends or family members so you can face off against each other at the end. I was still able to get practice matches in against the instruction, but good friendly competition is always fun.

Authentic Sumo Wrestler Morning Practice Viewing in Tokyo

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Ellen

The tour was easily organised and provided a unique opportunity to witness the training stables. I was unable to attend a tournament, but feel this was better, due to being so close to the wrestlers and witnessing the intensity, which may not be obaerved from a distance.

Wonderful Sumo Experience

Reviewed by: Luchi Villarica

Hotel pick-up from Shiraira Yukiko. She is a very informative and pleasant tour guide.

We were lucky because it wasn't only a sumo practice that we experienced but also a tournament. Prior to that, we had a beautiful walking tour of the cherry blossoms along Chidorigafuchi park, a glimpse of the North Entrance of the Imperial Palace, and the Yasukuni shrine.

Also included in the sumo tournament experience was the bowl of soup/Chanko nabe which was delicious.
