One of my favorite experiences in Japan! We ended up being the only visitors so had plenty of time with the sumos and engaging with Japanese sumo culture! Took some some great souvenirs that came with the price, and had the chance to get more! Shoutout to Jim (because it was great!) and our sumo guides, Kou and Shima!

Hands on, literally sumo experience
I happened to be the only one for this day to do the sumo experience. Got to see first had a sumo training house. Meet, train, get moved around with ease and enjoy a very good meal.
Anyone wanting authentic Japanese culture and more specifically sumo. This is it!
