Overview

This is a special experience in Kyoto where you can get up close and personal with sumo, a traditional Japanese culture. You can enjoy powerful bouts and demonstrations by sumo wrestlers right before your eyes. At the show, you'll see not only the strength of the sumo wrestlers but also unique sumo techniques, etiquette, and humorous performances. It's an enjoyable experience for first-time sumo viewers and families with children. During the experience, we'll provide an easy-to-understand introduction to the history of sumo, the dohyo-iri (ring-entering ceremony), the meaning of scattering salt, pre-bout rituals, and the daily life of sumo wrestlers. You'll gain a deeper understanding of sumo as a Japanese culture, not just watching a match. Furthermore, those who wish can actually step onto the dohyo and challenge a real sumo wrestler to a match. It will be an unforgettable time where you can directly experience the size and strength of a sumo wrestler. The matches are conducted in a fun and safe manner, so even those with no sumo experience can participate with peace of mind. Complimentary bottled water is provided during the show. Relax and enjoy the powerful performance.
