myTUI

Embark on an intimate small group tour, limited to 10 travellers, led by a knowledgeable sumo expert guide. This immersive experience is divided into two key parts: exploring sumo-related historical landmarks and witnessing live bouts in the sumo arena, accompanied by real-time commentary from your guide.

Begin with a walking tour around Ryogoku, a town steeped in sumo history. Here, you'll observe sumo stables outside, where wrestlers live and train. Your guide will enrich your understanding of this traditional sport as you visit numerous must-see spots related to sumo. This knowledge will enhance your enjoyment when you later watch the bouts in the arena.

The second part of the tour focuses on viewing the sumo matches. Each participant will receive a pamphlet featuring photos and profiles of the wrestlers, translated into English. As you watch the fights unfold, your guide will provide insights into each wrestler's background and style. You'll also receive cheering goods for a particular wrestler, adding another layer of excitement to the viewing experience. For those who prefer to focus solely on the sumo viewing, there is an option to join just this part of the tour.

To round off the day, there's an optional dinner at a local restaurant specialising in chanko-nabe. This nutrient-rich dish forms the cornerstone of a sumo wrestler’s diet, designed to help them gain weight and build muscle. It's the ideal way to fully embrace the sumo culture and conclude your immersive tour.

Vigtig information

Know in advance:

Infants aged 0 to 3 years can join the tour free of charge. However, please inform the tour operator in advance of the number of infants attending if you plan to bring any
The tour operator offers seating in chairs on the balcony level of the arena. If you prefer to stay on the first floor, please note that seating there is on a flat floor with no chairs available
Balcony seats provide more comfort, as you will be seated in a chair at all times. By contrast, first-floor seating consists of box-style areas where four people sit together on a 1.3m x 1.3m flat square with cushions. You will be seated in either Chair B or Chair C on the balcony
Chair B offers a few advantages over Chair C: it’s closer to the ring, slightly larger, and has softer cushioning for added comfort
The seating map in the photo section shows their exact locations
