• Tour to see the great national sport of sumo wrestling

Sumo is Japan's national sport, and its wrestlers are not just fat people.
Beneath the fat are superbly trained muscles. And despite their large build,
they have incredible flexibility, with legs as strong as tree trunks. Their
physical abilities are truly acrobatic, and wrestlers are the ultimate
athletes, with bodies built for fighting. At the moment of a serious match,
the sound of the wrestlers colliding with each other reverberates throughout
the arena. Come and see the clash for yourself!

[Watching Points]

• More than 1,500 years of sumo history

Sumo, Japan's national sport, dates back to the age of mythology and is said
to have started as a contest of strength. It continued as an imperial court
event for about 300 years, including an annual festival ritual to predict the
year's harvest, and then during the Sengoku period, sumo was used as training
for samurai. Later, in the Edo period, sumo became a commercial sport, with
kanjin sumo becoming popular, and the foundations of modern-day professional
sumo were established. Today, sumo has taken on a formal form as a sport and
is loved by many people. At the venue, you can experience sumo's long history
and one aspect of traditional culture up close.

• Yokozuna's ring-entering ceremony

The sumo wrestlers step onto the ring and enter, which also serves as a show-
off ceremony. The "yokozuna dohyo-iri" is held separately from the juryo and
makuuchi dohyo-iri, and is a slightly different, sacred ritual you can see.
Accompanied by two other wrestlers, the "tsuyuharai" (a person who carries out
the dew) and "tachimochi" (a person who carries out the sword), the yokozuna
steps onto the ring through the runway, clapping his hands before lifting his
leg high and stomping his feet. As he stomps his feet, the spectators shout
"Yoisho!" loudly throughout the venue. The yokozuna's mawashi and white rope
are also highlights.

[Final day launch party]

You will participate in a party hosted by Oshiogawa stable (the team to which
the wrestlers belong). The party starts with a greeting from the stablemaster,
followed by an introduction and award ceremony for the wrestlers'
performances, and the wrestlers go around to each table to enjoy a meal and
conversation with the participants. Of course, you are allowed to take photos.
You can also enjoy karaoke with the wrestlers. It is a homely party. There is
no dress code. All participants will receive a souvenir of original Oshiogawa
stable goods. It is rare to have the opportunity to interact with real
wrestlers after their bouts. It will be a memorable and valuable experience.
