Sumo Morning Training Experience (in Tokyo) -Regular Program-

T001

Sumo is very popular among foreigners who want to know about true Japanese culture.
However, sumo is not just a martial art, but also a part of Shinto rituals based on tradition and a place to unify the spirit. Tourists who are unaware of this fact often violate manners by pointing their feet at sumo wrestlers, talking loudly, making shutter sounds, and so on.
Therefore, it is necessary to explain the traditions and manners of sumo to foreigners in their native languages so that they do not disturb the practice. We will dispatch an interpreter/guide who can teach the manners of sumo.
The tour participants are required to check the rules and regulations for visiting a sumo training hall as stated in the "Notes on Application" section of the application form. If participants fail to follow the rules, they may be asked to leave the tour during the tour.
The tour guide will pick participants up at the hotel and explain rules and regulations for visiting a sumo stable. Many sumo stables are closed to foreigners, but we will try to find a stable that allows visitors to enter.

HIGHLIGHT

You can observe a training session in an authentic sumo stable.

A nationally certified English-speaking interpreter-guide will accompany and guide the tour.
