BEST TOKYO EXPERIENCE EVER—OSHIAGE SUMO TRIP with tour guide HANA - BEST BEHIND THE SCENES SUMO EXPERIENCE EVER! Hana was amazing! Her passion for Sumo is infectious. She taught the protocols before we arrived at the stable so we were culturally prepared, and explained Sumo more in depth and answered questions afterward. Visiting the stable itself was truly an awesome experience. Seeing these athletes practice was eye-opening. AND WE GOT PHOTOS TOO!!

11/10 experience! - In a trip to Japan thay exceeded every expectation, this tour was at the tippy top. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable and I learned so much about sumo wrestling and their everyday lives. We were so close to the practice ring, the wrestlers, and the master. It was an absolute privilege to be allowed to observe the athletes and their training. 11/10 experience. Do not miss!

Sumo wrestling Dec 30 2024 - It was cool! The guide spent 10 minutes talking about some history and facts on sumo wrestling, then we got to see the practice live and up close. We met at 7:50, started watching practice around 8:30AM, then practice finished a bit early at 10AMish. Honestly you don't need to watch much more than an hour of practice since it gets repetitive -- much of our group left before 10AM -- but it's cool to see. Then you can take photos with the wrestlers after practice is done.

Amazing experience - Was a fascinating experience that offered a deep dive into the country’s rich cultural heritage. Witnessing the intensity and discipline of the sumo wrestlers was incredibly engaging, and it opened a window into a lifestyle that requires immense dedication, discipline, and respect for tradition. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in truly understanding Japan.

Wonderful experience - Wonderful experience! Get to see how they practice, with plenty of fights. Couldn't ask for anymore. Sumo wrestling is a hard path to pursue, these wrestlers are hard working and you can see they really do give their all
