Itinerary
Meet your guide at the Ryogoku View Hotel near the 1F entrance. Please arrive 10 minutes before the starting time and present your booking confirmation sheet to reception.
Here you'll have the opportunity to witness sumo wrestlers' in action. Training mainly consists of a relatively short series of fights, and it's as powerful as the real thing.
After this first experience, your guide-interpreter will take you on a tour of the Sumo Museum at Kokugikan, home to 30,000 unique pieces of sumo memorabilia and artefacts.
After the museum, you'll have the opportunity to taste a chanko nabe. Sumo wrestlers commonly eat this stew, in large quantities, as part of their high-calorie diet. Chanko nabe is a delicious Japanese hot pot often made with chicken broth with sake or mirin, large amounts of protein, such as chicken breast, tofu, beef, and vegetables like daikon, Chinese cabbage, and shiitake mushrooms. The tour ends after the meal.
The tour finishes after lunch and you are free to continue your day.
