This is a compact yet highly fulfilling 4-day tour centered on Japan’s national sport, sumo.

The highlight of the tour is an exciting live sumo tournament and an exclusive visit to a sumo stable to watch morning practice. Experience the power, skill, and deep traditions of sumo up close.

In addition, the tour includes visits to Sumo-related sites such as the Nominosukune Shrine and the Edo-Tokyo Museum, deepening your understanding of sumo history and culture.

Explore Asakusa, one of Tokyo’s most famous historic districts, where the atmosphere of old Edo still remains. Enjoy a walk through traditional streets and take part in a tea ceremony, offering a deeper understanding of Japanese culture.

This short but enriching tour offers a concentrated experience of sumo and Japanese traditions, suitable for both sumo fans and those interested in Japanese culture.
