14.Tokyo: Visit Sumo Morning Practice with English Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2 hours · from $96

Watch Takasago stable’s intense sumo practice in Tokyo, learn the basics with an English guide, and pose with wrestlers afterward.

“We enjoyed this a lot. The guides didn’t tell us that much about sumo, but they handed out a really thorough booklet, which works better for me as I’d probably forget a lot of what was said verbally. We were really close to the wrestlers and watched them go through various training exercises. We had a photo afterwards, but be aware that a 1000 yen ‘tip’ is requested for this.”
