Amazing athletes - This was a highlight of our holiday. We had never seen sumo wrestling live before. They are obviously big guys, but they are amazing athletes too - super powerful, super fast and super stamina - with amazing skills. We learnt a lot from the excellent commentary by guide Shun Moriyama. Afterwards, we had our photo taken with four of wrestlers who had a real sense of fun and made the photo a memorable one.

We have a winner! - An immersive experience into the world of sumo wrestling. We learned the history, the rules, the training, as well as a day in the life of a sumo professional. We did warmup exercises and some hands on training before actually going one on one with a wrestler! Our guide, Tai, was professional, informative and well versed in the world of sumo. We finished up with a question and answer period with the wrestlers and fun pictures. Appropriate for families, couples and solos. This experience far exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend!

Very interesting and informative - Wonderful insight to the world of Sumo with our guide Kaz. We were so lucky to see Professional and apprentice Sumo wrestlers training. Such an interesting hour with Kaz keeping us informed via earpiece as to the training methods. There are chairs to sit on and everyone had a good view. Would definitely go again. We had photos taken with the wrestlers afterwards.

Wonderfull moment - It was a great experience and we had to see a lot of fights. The guide is great and give plenty of useful explanations. I advise you to arrive earlier because the seats are not reserved. Thank you a lot to all the sumo and staff.

Amazing Experience at Sumo Tokyo - Amazing experience, super interesting especially with the comments made by the guide. Make sure to dress warmly since it’s in an extension of the stable which is not heated. Also ensure you arrive early for your experience as it is first come first serve in order to get the best seats. Overall I would recommend to see it.

Well worth it! - It was a great experience! We learned so much about the sport and the athletes. Our guide, Shun was an excellent host! Our trip was outside the window of sumo tournaments, so since we couldn’t do that, this tour was a great replacement.
