Sumo, Japan's traditional national sport, right in front of your eyes.

Experience the excitement of Japan's national sport with our January Sumo Tour at Ryogoku Kokugikan! The tour begins as you meet your English-speaking guide at the iconic sumo arena. You'll receive an introduction to sumo, its centuries-old traditions, and the rich history of the Kokugikan.
Next, explore the inside of the facility with your guide, who will point out key areas and share cultural insights. You’ll also have time to browse the official sumo souvenir shops, where you can purchase unique memorabilia such as sumo-themed goods, snacks, and exclusive merchandise.
　And finally, the highlight is watching a live sumo match! Feel the intensity and tradition as you sit in your reserved B or C class seat, surrounded by local fans and the powerful atmosphere of real competition.

*The guided tour lasts about 90min, and the rest of the time you can watch the tournament by yourself.
