Activity itinerary

Limited to 30 guests per session – Service starts March 2026 This tour is guided by former top-division sumo wrestler Tenkaiho. Having spent many years competing in the professional sumo world, he offers a rare opportunity to experience the true world of sumo. Inside the quiet atmosphere of a traditional sumo stable, the morning training session begins. This is not a tourist show. It is a serious and intense training session where wrestlers push themselves to their limits every day. You will witness the raw power, discipline, and dedication of professional sumo wrestlers up close — something that cannot truly be experienced through television. During the tour, former sumo wrestler and stable master Tenkaiho explains the history of sumo, its traditions, and what it truly means to live as a sumo wrestler. Because this experience takes place inside a real sumo stable, each session is limited to a maximum of 30 guests. This small-group format allows you to observe the training closely while enjoying a calm and respectful atmosphere.
