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 the wrestling itself. Participants will learn about the history, movements, training, and tournament of sumo wrestling, enhancing their trip to Japan.

Participants will learn about the strict routine wrestlers follow and the practices during training sessions. They will also learn some basic moves and have the opportunity to test them out against one of the teachers.

Participating in a sumo training session offers a chance to discover the rituals and costumes of Japan's national sport and appreciate the sacrifices made by practitioners.

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

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