Embark on an unforgettable journey into the world of sumo wrestling with our exclusive Tokyo Sumo Morning Practice Tour.
While other morning practice tours only allow you to watch the wrestlers practice in silence, our tour allows you to watch the practice while the guide explains in real time what kind of practice is taking place through earbuds you will be wearing.
On this tour, you will be able to watch the dynamic sumo wrestlers practice up close while getting a feel for the intense atmosphere.
Normally it is almost impossible for foreign tourists to visit a stable on their own during morning practice, so joining this tour is the perfect way to visit the stable!
