Our Place and Dohyo
The dohyo is the sacred ring where all sumo matches take place.
It is made of clay and covered with a thin layer of sand, symbolizing purity and connection to the earth.
The ring is about 4.55 meters (15 feet) in diameter and slightly elevated, with its boundary marked by straw rice bales called tawara.

“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.”
