Good To Know
  • The sumo stable is not a tourist attraction but a serious training facility. Please remain quiet during the visit. If you must make a phone call, please do so outside the sumo stable.
  • Restroom breaks or outdoor rests are allowed during the visit. Please ask the guide if needed.
  • You will remove your shoes and either sit on a cushion on the floor or on a chair. It is considered disrespectful to stretch your legs and point your soles toward the sumo wrestlers, so this is prohibited.
  • You are not allowed to enter the sumo ring.
  • Pets are not allowed.
  • If the above rules are not followed, you may be asked to leave without re-entry or a refund.
