This 4-hour experience offers a deep dive into Japan’s ancient sumo traditions, accompanied by an expert local guide who will share fascinating insights into the rituals and history of this iconic sport.  Not only will you learn about many ancient Japanese traditions that have been preserved in sumo, including ritual elements such as the use of salt purification, you’ll get a unique chance to cheer on and even greet some of Japan’s most renowned sumo wrestlers as they prepare for their big matches.  Once inside, you’ll be seated in A-class reserved seats (or B-class in some cases), providing you with an excellent view of the intense sumo action. These seats offer the perfect vantage point to immerse yourself in the excitement of the tournament, surrounded by passionate local fans.  For those who select the dinner option, the experience continues at a local chanko hot pot restaurant, where you’ll enjoy the same hearty meal that fuels sumo wrestlers. With explanations from your guide, you’ll gain insight into the dietary habits of these athletes. Sukiyaki or a vegetarian option is available upon request, but be sure to notify us at least one week in advance.  This tour is designed to provide an authentic and comprehensive sumo experience, combining the thrill of the matches with a deep appreciation of the culture and traditions that make sumo such a revered sport in Japan.
