“The main sumo tournaments in Tokyo are held in January, May, and September at the Ryogoku Kokugikan Sumo Hall. But if you're not a big sumo fan or the timing is not right, we recommend an easier way to get to know the sumo culture — visit a keiko, a sumo practice session.”

Watching sumo wrestling is a unique and culturally enriching experience that allows you to witness Japan's ancient and revered sport firsthand.

It's a rare opportunity to witness this ancient sport from a behind-the-scenes perspective and appreciate the physical and mental challenges faced by these athletes.

The easiest way to do it is to join a guided tour. Check the links section for our favorite guides to sumo practice session. The sessions usually last for 3 hours, and it's rude to leave before the end, so plan accordingly. But it's so interesting and entertaining so don't worry.
