The displays explain the history and traditions of sumo easily and engagingly, and the exhibits change regularly, so each visit highlights different themes or famous rikishi. You can enjoy the museum even when there isn’t a tournament happening, making it a relaxing way to soak up sumo culture inside the home of the sport.

5.00i wrote a much more eloquent review but a trip advisor bug wiped it...0 stars for them 5+ stars for elly! she is a passionate sumo fan, so not only did i gain an understanding of the rules and traditions of the sport, i was just as excited as she was for her favorite wrestler's bouts. elly gave us encyclopedic levels of knowledge on the history of sumo, and she is also super keen on the business operations of the association. no question was left unanswered. i hope to watch sumo with elly again in the future!
It was a great experience...

5.00Elly is passionate about Sumo and her knowledge makes the experience all the more memorable. Being able to deeply understand the ceremony, rules and wrestlers meant we came away with a much better connection to Sumo rather than just watching on our own.
So so so great!!!
