Sumo Show & Cultural Experience
Sumo is one of Japan’s most iconic traditional sports, with centuries of history and traditions. Learn about its rules, etiquette, and culture while watching exciting live bouts by former professional sumo wrestlers up close. Discover the strength, discipline, and traditions behind sumo in an entertaining and interactive setting designed for international visitors.
After the show, step into the dohyō (sumo ring) to learn basic sumo movements from former rikishi and enjoy the opportunity to join a Sumo Match Experience with a Former Rikishi. It’s a memorable chance to experience the world of sumo beyond simply watching from your seat.
Optional Chanko Nabe and Wagyu Sukiyaki meal plans are also available.
