Start
Introduction/Basics
Begin with an introduction to the history and cultural background of sumo, including its rituals, etiquette, and the role it plays in Japanese tradition.
Mid
Sumo Experience
Under the guidance of a real rikishi, you will have the chance to get in the ring (women and children are welcome too) and learn the fundamentals of sumo through hands-on practice, including shiko, suri-ashi, and tachi-ai. You can also challenge the wrestler in a friendly match—perfect for memorable photos and a unique story to take home.
End
After the training session, enjoy a photo session with the rikishi and take memorable shots inside the ring or together in a friendly pose. You will then try chanko-nabe, the traditional stew loved and eaten by sumo wrestlers every day, followed by a casual Q&A session with the former rikishi where you can ask questions and hear personal stories. At the end, receive your souvenir and the program concludes.

“An incredible hands-on sumo experience!
ctually stepping into the dohyo and using my own body made it unforgettable. You don’t truly understand a culture until you experience it — and this program let me dive right in. This alone was worth the trip to Japan.”
