Tokyo Early Morning Sumo Stable Practice Viewing Guided Tour

This rare tour takes customers to a sumo stable where sumo wrestlers live and train every day. With JTB Sunrise Tours, visit an authentic sumo stable where active Makuuchi Division wrestlers including a Yokozuna (the highest rank in sumo) belong. Watch in awe as sumo wrestlers engage in intense practice bouts, figures clashing and breaths echoing in the silence of the stable, right before your eyes.

After watching, customers can look forward to taking photos with the wrestlers and even seeing some personal belongings, and enjoying the Q&A corner where they can ask some questions to the sumo wrestlers. Get a glimpse into the lives of sumo wrestlers, including sumo-sized yukata and bath towels that most people don't usually get to see!

The tour is accompanied by a National Government Licensed English Guide Interpreter who will provide basic information about sumo and introduce the wrestlers of Tatsunami-beya, the sumo stable that the tour will be visiting. Whispering and talking are strictly prohibited while watching the practice, but an audio guide service is available, allowing customers to listen to commentary from the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter during the practice and enjoy watching with a deeper understanding.

Includes JTB Sunrise Tours original merchandise exclusive to this tour! All customers will be able to take home a souvenir from the tour.
