Don't go there wasting your time. They stopped practicing in the morning hours. It's a paid trip in the evening for 1000 yen. I got misguided by information centre and there. The arrogant behaviour of the wrestlers is disgusting. All they just tell the tourists is "no,no,no...go,go,go". The municipality should cancel the licence of this place
Fun experience to do in Tokyo! Check the schedule beforehand on their website, it's up to date. Would recommend going early, on the day I went, they finished training around ~9am then came out to take pictures with everyone.
Exactly as previous comments indicated - It gets really crowded and unless you get here really early, it’s hard to catch a good angle to watch the practice. We arrived an hour prior and there were already 30 people by the window. There are private tours to watch it inside and close to the rink but they cost around 100/person in this and other sumo wrestling schools as well.
Got up early and travelled over to see an early morning training session. There were already a little crowd forming to watch. It was a great experience to see the Sumo practice. If you have space in your trip, definitely try and get out here to have a watch. Since it's a less popular area, it is good area to have a casual walk around to see Tokyo.
Excellent opportunity and privilege to watch Sumo wrestlers practice in the mornings between 7:30 - 10am. You stand outside and watch through the tinted windows. Occasionally, wrestlers come out for a break. On the day we visited, they all came out after their training and kindly offered some photo opportunities! The nearest subway stations are Hamacho (about 4-5 minutes walk) and Ningyocho (about 12-15 minutes walk). Highly recommended - and it's free!
