If you want to watch the Sumo wrestlers up close, this is one of the closest you can get! And in this tour, we could talk with stable master. So you could ask some questions directly.
Let’s watch the wrestler’s morning practice right next to the ring and feel the intense and serious atmosphere. The sound of wrestlers colliding to each other, their breath and the scent of the fragrance they wear are something that you can never feel by watching any videos.
You will meet with your knowledgeable tour guide at the station and walk to the stable(15 to 20 mins walk).Your guide will explain you about Sumo, its history, rules and regulations before entering the stable and then watch it together. You will see the unique traditional sports which is at the same time religious rituals, originally started to entertain the Shinto deities.
If you are lucky, you will get to take photos with the wrestlers after the practice!

Very engaging experience being up close to a morning training session. We had quite a large group so while most people had a front row seat we had one row of people in front. The guide didn't provide too much information but we had a Q&A with the stable manager after the session and a photo with a couple of the sumo wrestlers.

Wonderful experience. Guide was knowledgeable and the access was incredible. Great time. I was lucky to attend the Grand Sumo Tournament a few days after which took the experience full circle. Recommended for anyone interested in Japanese culture or Sumo.

Watching the Sumo Wrestlers train was fascinating. They were very gracious and friendly at the end, thanking us for visiting and allowing us to take a picture with them.

An eye-opener as the experience showed how much discipline is required to do sumo wrestling well. Despite their size, the wrestlers showed agility.

Marveling at the gigantic Sumo Wrestlers was by far one of the best Japanese experience in my Japan trip. Not only underestimated the sports but was amazed by the dedication and strength of the warriors!!

It was an amazing experience, it was very easy to find the guide and he spoke English. The sumo practice is in a beautiful gym and watching them practice and wrestle inside the sand ring is truly fascinating. Would strongly recommend !

Very interesting and special experience. First time we've seen training in this national sport of Japan up close. Our tour guide Mrs. Yuriko was very detailed in her presentation, she put us in the mood of the sport and generally told us various things about life in Japan. I recommend this experience.
