Have you hear about Yokozuna who is the campion of the Sumo wrestlers? In this tour, we visit the champion's stable and watch the practice up close!
This is a special experience and have to do it now!

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.

[What makes this tour so special?]
While all Sumo Morning Practice tours are special and unique experiences, what sets this tour apart from others is that this stable is champion's stable which is only one stable in Japan on this condition.

Amazing experience. Very friendly guide who answered questions prior to the session. Easy to find meeting place. Good value for money in terms of duration of session. We were incredibly fortunate to witness the Yokozuna training.

Things to note:
If you take a proper camera, learn how to turn off shutter noise and any sensor beeps prior to getting there.

It can last up to 3 hours. If you are not flexible or have a bad back keep this in mind. You can leave early if you need to but you can’t show the soles of your feet to the mat.

It gets pretty sweaty in there. Quite a small space. Makes for an immersive experience but you may want to bring a mask and removable layers.

100% recommend.

We had a wonderful time today on the food tour. This was our first time in Tokyo, and we were looking forward to trying some of the unique food options. The tour did not disappoint, and our guide Tobu was very professional and knowledgeable.

Today we toured with Mieko.
Mieko speaks good English, with a lot of knowledge and a sense of humor. Felt very comfortable walking with her around the market and surrounding temples. We received a lot of information and interesting stories.
The tour included a lot of tastings and an explanation of everything we tasted. It was excellent!
We highly recommend Mieko

Mieko was a very knowledgeable and lovely guide for the fish market tour! I booked this tour for my first morning in Tokyo and enjoyed Mieko's company immensely.

It was such an amazing tour… we got to see quite a few Sekitori ( fully qualified and pro. level wrestlers) along with Yokozuna !! Their passionate practice and training was so intense and our tour guide Yuko san was very informative, accommodating and kind. Chanko prepared by wrestlers was very tasty too. Highly recommended to an enthusiastic sumo fan as well as for those who are just interested in sumo. Truly exclusive experience !

Whether you've never seen sumo before or you're a big fan, this tour is something that everyone visiting Tokyo needs to check out. Not only do you get to see top division wrestlers go through their intense morning practice routine, but you also get to indulge in a delicious chanko hot pot meal made by the wrestlers themselves afterwards! On top of this, you may even have the chance to chat with the Yokozuna(grand champion). It's safe to say that this was one of the main highlights of my trip and I would love to do it again next time I'm in town. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about the sport of sumo or just Japanese culture in general.

It was great to have such a unique experience. The sumo wrestlers were impressive and their training routine was really interesting to watch.
It was also fun to discuss with some of them afterwards and experience eating chanko.

Brilliant experience of Japanese culture. Great explanation by the guide. Small group. Up close, sight and sounds of a unique historical sport. Lunch time was a bit rush. I thought the lunch was sumo hotpot, but the food was more than enough.
