The event was advertised a day before and took place more than an hour outside of central Tokyo. Not worth it.

Fantastic experience seeing the full practice - slow build up to intense sparring! Our entire family really enjoyed it.

Amazing to be so close to the sumo wrestlers. Their practice was incredible. Warmup through to sparring and a little cooldown. The high impact when they sparred was awesome
We enjoyed

The Sumo morning practice that we visited was very authentic and impressive. We would recommend not to skip this experience while visiting in Tokyo, for us it was one of the biggest shots of Japanese flavour

Brilliant experience and good to see some of the old traditions in Japan still taking place. My only bit of constructive feedback is it would have been nice to have a little intro, to understand the rules and what we would be seeing. Other than that exceeded expectations as the sumos really went for it!

It was fun and fascinating to watch the morning practice. Unfortunately, this tour gave us no guide (just a man with a list who opened the door for us) so there was no one to explain what we would see, the meaning of it, answer questions, etc. Moving forward I will be sure to sign up for a tour with a guide who speaks my language.

An amazing opportunity to view a training session with these incredible athletes. I didn’t know anything about the sport/discipline of sumo prior to attending the training session. It’s important to note that this isn’t a tourist entertainment session, it is purely a training session for the athletes. Nobody explains what is happening and they are not concerned about your comfort levels. It is up to you to pay attention and to absorb the atmosphere. I suggest doing a little bit of research before you go so that you understand the protocols and so that you don’t cause offence without realising. Also, I strongly suggest that you practice sitting cross legged for 1.5 hours. You can’t sit with soles of feet aimed at the training ring. So it does take a bit of practice to be able to sit on a hard floor for that long. Absolutely worth it - make the effort to go. Not many people get this close up view of the training and commitment for the sumo wrestlers.

A fantastic experience, up and close to the action. You get a real appreciation of the strength and skill of the wrestlers. It was an easy process to book the tickets and find the location. I'd recommended the experience.
