The grand sumo tournament tour in Tokyo is a small group tour with real-time commentaries by a sumo expert guide. Headsets are used for participants to hear the guide clearly.
This is not just about watching the sumo tournament but includes:
1. Walking tour around Ryogoku, a sumo town. Visit sumo-related landmarks and look at sumo stables from outside where sumo wrestlers live and train. Increase joy of watching the tournament by learning a lot about sumo from the guide as you visit many sumo related must-see spots before you actually view the bouts in the arena.
2. Lunch at a chanko-nabe restaurant (Optional)
This nutrient dish is in the centerpiece of sumo wrestlers’ diet to gain weight and muscles to build their bodies.
3. Use of an earphone guide system during the tour to hear the guide clearly even from a distance.
We have several options; pricing is different based on where you are seated in the arena. For details, see the seating map posted in the photo section on this page.

Seating plan available at the photos for reference
Box seats are on the first floor in the arena and closer to the ring than chair seats which are all on the second floor. Each box seat in a square shape with each side being 130cm accommodates 4 people; each spectator sits on their own cushion. See a photo in the photo section. We use tiered pricing for Box seat options depending on the size of your group. No matter which Box seat option you choose, you can use the entire box (square) for your own group. In other words, the fewer the number of your group, the more space one can use in the box.
