Overview
Discover sumo through an interactive show supervised by former Grand Sumo Ozeki KONISHIKI and performed by former professional rikishi. Watch powerful live bouts up close and feel the speed, strength, and impact of sumo. Learn about sumo rules, traditions, etiquette, and training in an easy-to-understand format. After the show, step into the dohyō and try basic sumo movements such as shiko and suri-ashi. Guests may also have the chance to challenge a former rikishi in a sumo match. Our specially designed mat-based dohyō is the same size as a professional sumo ring and offers a comfortable environment for first-time participants, women, and children. Try on a traditional haori, with premium kimono dressing available as an add-on. Optional Chanko Nabe and Wagyu Sukiyaki meal plans are also available.
