About the Host

Highlights

At a sumo stable near JR Imamiya Station, watch former professional sumo wrestlers who competed at the top level perform live demonstration bouts up close. An English-speaking MC explains everything from start to finish, including sumo's 1,500-year history, its Shinto rituals, the rules, the ranking system, and training methods. After the demonstration, put on a mawashi, step into the sacred dohyo ring, and challenge a wrestler yourself. The program lasts about 1 hour 30 minutes and takes place indoors with air conditioning, so it is comfortable even on rainy days.

Program

Watch authentic sumo bouts
by former professional wrestlers

Not actors, but former professional wrestlers who trained and competed under real professional rules in sumo stables perform demonstration bouts on the dohyo. See the power and technique of real sumo right in front of you.

Learn sumo history and rules with an English MC

Designed by a former educator, the program builds your understanding step by step. The English MC explains every moment, covering sumo's historical background and sacred spirit, the rules of the bout, the ranking system, and daily life and training routines in a sumo stable.

Put on a mawashi and step into the ring

After the explanation and demonstration, change clothes, put on a mawashi, and step into the sacred dohyo to face a sumo wrestler yourself. The challenge is subject to conditions. T-shirts and shorts are provided for changing, so you do not need to bring anything.

Finish with souvenir photos with the wrestlers

Finally, take souvenir photos on the dohyo where the wrestlers train. Hand over your smartphone and staff will take photos for free. Souvenirs are also available for purchase.

※ The ring challenge is subject to on-site conditions.
