What you can expect

Want to experience the unique charm of Japan’s national sport sumo and the stunning scenery of Kobe on one unforgettable trip? This tour is tailor-made for you! Choose to depart from Osaka or head directly to the Kobe meeting point—whichever you pick, we cater to your flexible travel needs perfectly.
The 2025 tournament will be held at the newly built GLION ARENA KOBE, Japan’s first coastal arena boasting mountain and sea views. Its iconic V-shaped roof symbolises the connection between the Rokko Mountains and the Seto Inland Sea, a brilliant design that promises a top-tier viewing experience. The arena offers a diverse range of dining options, from fast food and light bites to gourmet cuisine, satisfying all tastes effortlessly.
Sumo, Japan’s national sport, traces its roots to Shinto rituals. Every aspect, from the salt purification on the dohyo to the grand wrestler processions, is steeped in thousands of years of culture. The Japanese Regional Sumo Tournaments see wrestlers leave major cities like Tokyo to hold special events across the country, interacting with fans up close. More relaxed and experience-focused than official matches, these tournaments are ideal for first-time sumo viewers. Enjoy a 5-hour immersive experience with thrilling bouts between skilled wrestlers, accompanied by professional English commentary—making it easy for new audiences to appreciate sumo’s allure. The arena also features a shopping area, where you can buy local Kobe specialities and exclusive sumo-themed souvenirs.
The tour concludes right at the arena. You’re free to disperse immediately after the matches, with plenty of time to plan the rest of your cultural day while deepening your connection to Japan’s timeless traditional sport.
