Step by Step

Enjoy a sumo tournament in Tokyo with these tickets. This is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the history of Japan with a professional guide. He will accompany you during this activity, which lasts about four and a half hours, and you will sit with him in the amphitheatre in row B, which is also reserved for locals. In addition, these passes include access to the Sumo Museum.

As many aspects of ancient Japan remain in sumo, such as the ponytails, traditional dress and ancient customs, professional sumo is more than just a sport- it is an example of traditional Japanese culture that you can experience during your trip to the Land of the Rising Sun.

From your reserved B-class seat on the first floor, you will have a perfect view to witness the series of bouts in the amphitheatre. You will be seated next to the locals to be surprised by their attitude, which will be very different from what you expect.

You will also be provided with a booklet in English and the ranking list of the sumo bouts for the day so that you know how it works. Please note that the higher ranked bouts are usually held at the end of the day, while the juniors are held first.

As for the Sumo Museum, which is located inside the Ryogoku Sumo Stadium, you can see various art exhibits and items related to the history of sumo, which is over 1,500 years old. Woodblock prints and traditional silk aprons are just some of the dozens of items on display.
