This opportunity to get a first-hand look at the daily life of sumo wrestlers will open your eyes to this fascinating martial sport and Japan’s traditional culture!
You’ll have a guide meet you in front of the sumo stable who will brief you on the proper etiquette for watching a sumo training session. They’ll provide you with a handout in your language and will answer any questions you may have about sumo wrestling. At the end, you may get a chance to take a photo with some sumo wrestlers!
