Sumo Fighting Experience

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Yokozuna Tonkatsu Dosukoi Tanaka centre, where we'll take part in a sumo wrestlers' training while learning about this typical Japanese combat.

Sumo is the national sport of Japan, involving numerous traditional rituals both before and after wrestling. Learn about the history, movements, training, and tournament, and enrich your trip to Japan.

You'll discover the strict routine that the wrestlers must adhere to and understand the practices during training sessions. You'll learn basic moves and have the opportunity to test them against one of the instructors.

Attending a sumo training session allows you to learn about the rituals and costumes of Japan's national sport and to appreciate the daily sacrifices of its practitioners.

After the training, we'll go to the restaurant attached to the centre to enjoy an authentic Chanko Nabe lunch. This typical sumo wrestler's meal consists of a hearty stew with rice, meat or fish, potatoes, and vegetables.

We will conclude the activity at the restaurant after 2 hours of experience.
