The guide will first explain the origin, history, rules, fun, etc. of sumo. Sumo wrestlers are working extremely hard to be stronger because their ranking directly affects their income. The morning practice starts before 7:00 a.m. with stretching, warming-up, and a routine of basic sumo movements. We get into the stable around 8:00 a.m. when they start practice matches. You will be overwhelmed by the sounds as you watch wrestlers hit their bodies head-on again and again. By this time, you will realize a huge mass of muscles constitute their bodies. When they stretch to cool down, you are now surprised to see how supple they are, which may be counter-intuitive given their gigantic bodies. We will mostly have a chance to take photos with them after the practice. Option: Chanko-nabe lunch The guide will take you to a chanko-nabe restaurant for lunch. This nutrient dish is in the centerpiece of sumo wrestlers’ diet to gain weight and muscles to build their bodies.

This tour was amazing!! We learned a lot about the art of sumo and going to the dojo was super cool. Basically, you sit on a type of deck, right in front of the sumo practice ring, and are pretty up close and personal (pictures and videos are allowed, but you have to remain quiet). The sumo wrestlers even were willing to take pictures with the group after a long practice session!
