Genuine Sumo Experience first class!

Published on May, 2025

What a privilege to watch these athletes train and prepare for one of the grand tournaments. Our guide Atsushi was excellent, he arrived at our hotel at the arranged time to get us to the Sumo stable on time. We sat very close to the edge of the training ring so really sensed the power the wrestlers produce. We had to sit still and quiet for around 90 minutes. Atsushi came prepared with a white board and pen for us to write any questions we had as talking is not allowed. We got some great photos of the training and sparring.

An absolute must do

Published on Apr, 2025

This tour stands out at the top of all the excellent tours we’ve done in Tokyo and then at various ports as we cruised around Japan. The sumo wrestler stable was fascinating to watch and learn about. We feel very privileged to have seen their morning workout first hand. Our guide Mr Miyazaki made the experience far exceed our expectations. He met us at our hotel, early, and took us on two train rides to reach the stable. The last part of the travel was supposed to be walking but when he saw I had a knee/hip that slowed me down he called a taxi. He very clearly explained the sumo world during the train ride so we knew what to expect and understood what we were seeing. His English speaking abilities were solid. The tour included the guide getting us back to the train station to make our own way home. Mr Miyazaki very kindly offered to travel back the entire way with us, saying he lived in that direction . Whether that was true or he saw the trepidation of doing two trains including Shinjuku station while under construction, or both , we very much appreciate him travelling back with us, not only to Shinjuku station, but to our hotel lobby . We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Japan, with the people and culture making us feel genuinely welcome with Mr Miyazaki and this tour being the absolute best .

It was a rainy day in Tokyo and we changed our plans. This was a happy find. Guide was great and watching and learning about Sumo wrestling was very interesting. I would recommend this tour to all.

Very well organized, on...

Very well organized, on time, and Mr. Tadashi Umebayashi was a wonderful guide making sure that everything went according to plan.

We had a fantastic time!...

Published on Apr, 2025

We had a fantastic time! Our guide was very knowledgeable. The more questions you have, the more you'll learn. There is no talking while the wrestlers are training but our wonderful guide made time for us after the training session to discuss it.
