Tokyo
Sumo in Tokyo comes in three forms, and this list covers them all: tournament seats, morning practice visits, and wrestler shows with chanko hotpot. Grand tournaments run at Ryogoku Kokugikan in January, May and September only. Outside those months, a stable’s morning practice is the real thing; sit still, stay quiet, and let the thuds speak.
Experience authentic sumo wrestling in Tokyo with a fun show, interactive participation, delicious chicken hot pot, and memorable souvenirs—all in just 2 hours.
