Highly recommended! For experts and laypeople alike. - We were in Kawasaki on May 26th 2025 and had our first sumo experience there. The training session was held with several participants, and participants had the choice of participating in some exercises, wrestling with the "real" sumo wrestlers, or at least giving it a try, or (like us) simply watching. As complete novices to sumo wrestling, we didn't know what to expect. The result: The Sumo Experience Tour was really fun, but above all, it gave us a deeper understanding of sumo wrestling, as the experience was extremely informative and interesting. The two sumo wrestlers and the moderator were very friendly, open-minded, and humorous. All guests were well looked after, and we felt wonderfully taken care of. The whole experience concluded with a traditional communal meal (as sumo wrestlers do). A truly fantastic experience and highly recommended! For experts and amateurs alike.

Great training to join yourself. - The training and the stories of how Sumoringen came about, or how it works in the rough, were well told. Training with the Sumoringers was the most fun in the group. Seat options are very good and the organizers very friendly. Smokers also have the opportunity to smoke outside.

A good immersion in sumo - It was a great experience! The guides Marie and Jim were very kind, teaching us a lot about sumoto culture. The guides will pick you up at the station to take you to the training house. The sumotori were also very friendly.

Highlight of Japan - Unforgettable experience that exceeded expectations. Charlie & Mayu were very friendly and informative the entire time. The Sumo wrestlers were surprisingly funny as well. Don’t be afraid to challenge them and ask questions.
