    Guests who wish may also step onto the dohyō to try basic sumo training or a friendly bout with a rikishi. Participation is entirely optional and conducted with a strong focus on safety.

    After the show, guests are invited to enjoy a commemorative photo session with the rikishi—an unforgettable way to conclude the experience.

    【Chanko Nabe Dinner】
    This package includes a hearty chanko nabe dinner, the soul food of rikishi and an essential part of their daily training diet.
    Rich in nutrients and designed to support strength, recovery, and stamina, chanko nabe has long been the foundation of a sumo wrestler’s physique and energy.

    Prepared using an authentic stable-style recipe, this comforting hot pot offers a genuine taste of sumo life, enjoyed in the same spirit as the wrestlers themselves.

    Additional Japanese snacks and drinks are available for purchase on the day.

    【Private Van Transfer — Travel in Comfort】
    This premium plan includes private van transport between any location within Osaka City and Kansai International Airport, available one-way or return.
    Enjoy a smooth, door-to-door journey while avoiding crowded trains and complicated transfers.

    Located just one train stop from Kansai International Airport and directly in front of the station, the one-way transfer option is an especially smart choice when travelling between the airport and central Osaka.
    Travel comfortably with large luggage and transform transit time into a refined sumo experience—without the need for a separate airport taxi.

    [Try on a Kimono and Haori]
    Enjoy the sumo show in traditional Japanese attire.
    Guests may freely try on a haori (a short jacket worn over a kimono).

    For a full kimono experience, upgrade to the Premium Kimono Experience with professional dressing (add-on).
