Watch real professional sumo training at a Tokyo stable, up close, then get a group photo. One hour, often shorter on tournament weeks.
“It was a great cultural experience to watch the sumo wrestlers in training. However, the guide provided no background whatsoever on the sport and movements we would see. Having some background on gestures, etc, would have made the visit even more meaningful.”
Watch Takasago sumo wrestlers train in the morning with an English guide, then take a commemorative photo; 2 hours from $96.

“This is a fabulous experience not to be missed when visiting Tokyo! From the moment we met our guide, Noriko, the visit was amazing. Well organised and exactly as advertised, the morning was perfect. Noriko was clear in her explanations of the visit to the stables and once seated (on stools not mats) we comfortably viewed the sumos train literally right before our eyes. It was mesmerising! The photo opportunity after topped of a marvellous experience. Do not miss this!”

“Make sure to get their first. Be in front of line to get front row seats. There was like 50 people in our group. With everyone sitting on floor it was hard to see from back rows. That is my only compliant. However this is a great option if you are visiting Japan not during Sumo tournament months.”

Half-day morning bus tour in Tokyo covering Tokyo Tower, Senso-ji, and an Imperial Palace photo stop, with tower tickets included.
“Not a bad tour, and we saw a few of the highlights of Tokyo, so maybe it is being a bit unkind, but our guide was maybe not the best, and there is only so much that can be achieved in 3-3.5hrs. Probably 50 of the time is spent in the coach, and there is a schedule to be kept up to, so bear this in mind when booking. We do a fair bit of Tours by Locals walking tours, be it in the UK or abroad, so you can never beat the one to one personalised experience that this will bring, albeit at a much higher cost, so this…”
A 5 a.m. guided look at the Toyosu tuna auction and Tsukiji food streets, with a licensed English guide and practical market navigation.
“What a unique experience! We loved this early morning tour of the Toyosu and Tsukiji markets with Gorelio-San. He was able to secure auction tickets for us in the lottery so we could watch the action up close. The day started early but it was worth it to see everything unfold. We started at Toyosu for the wholesale tuna auctions, moved to the intermediate market, then ended at the outer Tsukiji market for shopping and breakfast. Thank you for an amazing tour, Gorelio-San!”
