The SUMO Show & Experience with Hot pot lunch

Step into the sacred world of sumo in Ryogoku, the spiritual heart of Japan’s national sport. This immersive experience begins with a live demonstration where you witness the raw power of sumo wrestlers up close, feeling the impact of thunderous body collisions. You will also learn the deeper meaning behind traditional rituals such as salt tossing and the shiko leg stomps, which are performed to purify the ring and ward off evil spirits. These explanations offer valuable insight into the cultural and spiritual significance that surrounds sumo beyond the sport itself.

The experience becomes interactive as you step onto the clay dohyo to try traditional sumo footwork or suit up in padded gear for a safe and entertaining wrestling challenge with a giant sumo wrestler. A photo session follows, giving you the chance to stand beside the wrestlers and truly appreciate their impressive size while capturing unforgettable memories. The program concludes with a hearty Chanko Nabe lunch, the protein-rich hotpot that fuels sumo training, made with fresh ingredients and available in vegan and allergy-friendly options. The experience includes the sumo show, costume challenge, and a full Chanko Nabe lunch set, creating a fun, educational, and satisfying cultural encounter.
