At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Yokozuna Tonkatsu Dosukoi Tanaka centre, where we'll take part in a sumo wrestlers' training. You will learn about the history, movements, training, and tournament associated with sumo, Japan's national sport, and its traditional rituals.

You will understand the strict routine of the wrestlers and the practices during training sessions. Additionally, you'll learn some basic moves and have the chance to test them against one of the teachers.

Participating in a sumo training session offers insight into the rituals and costumes of Japan's national sport and the sacrifices made by practitioners.

After the training, we will proceed to the restaurant at the center for an authentic Chanko Nabe lunch, a traditional sumo wrestler's meal consisting of a hearty stew with rice, meat or fish, potatoes, and vegetables.

The entire experience will last approximately 2 hours, concluding at the restaurant.
