I had an incredible experience attending the Sumo Whistling event here in Japan. It was unlike anything I’ve seen before full of energy, tradition, and pure fun. Watching the performers create those sharp, rhythmic whistles while blending them with sumo culture was truly fascinating.
Amazing sumo experience

This was such an amazing experience! Everyone who works here is so kind and they put on a great show. The sumo wrestlers are gentle in the ring when you challenge them, but it was so interesting to hear the history behind the sport. I would definitely recommend!
