What to expect

Embark on a small-group tour limited to 10 travellers and led by a knowledgeable sumo guide. Start with a 2-hour walking tour of Ryogoku, followed by Grand Sumo Tournament bouts in the arena and an optional Chanko-nabe dinner (sumo wrestlers' meal). You can select the ticket option that suits you best, with or without Chanko-nabe dinner, and choose your preferred seats to watch the sumo bouts (Chair B or Chair C).

During the walking tour, your guide will show you the historical landmarks in Ryogoku sumo town.

The guide will then walk you through the sumo arena and show you murals, championship prizes, the Sumo Museum, photos of grand champions from the Edo period, and much more on the way to your seat on the second floor. Your expert guide will also provide commentary throughout the sumo bouts.

Ryōgoku Kokugikan, 1 Chome-3-28 Yokoami, Sumida City, Tokyo, Japan

Meeting point:
The meeting point is either: 1) Toei Oedo Line Ryogoku Sta. (E12) A3 Exit on the ground. Please note that there are two Ryogoku stations: Toei and JR. The right one is Toei, not JR. Your guide will be holding a signboard reading "Arumachi". 2) The left side of the Kokugikan arena's front gate. The meeting point for options which start at 1.00 pm is the first one. For options starting at 11:00am and 3.00 pm, the meeting point is the second one, but the local provider will confirm the meeting time and place right after booking.
What to remember

Know in advance:

  • In Oct. 7th option, you will be seated in Chair B
  • In September options, you will be seated in either Chair B or Chair C on the balcony. Chair B offers a few advantages over Chair C: it's closer to the ring, slightly larger, and has softer cushioning for added comfort. The seating map in the photo section shows their exact locations
  • Infants aged 0 to 3 years can join the tour free of charge. However, please inform the tour operator in advance of the number of infants attending if you plan to bring any
