What To Expect

Shinjuku Sumo Club

Visitors will step into a traditional-style venue in Shinjuku, where two real sumo wrestlers bring Japan’s ancient sport to life through powerful matches and entertaining demonstrations. You’ll learn the meaning behind sumo’s sacred rituals—such as the salt throwing, ring stomping, and pre-match ceremonies—while a bilingual host explains everything in an easy and fun way. After watching the wrestlers clash in the ring, guests will have the chance to step onto the dohyō (sumo ring) and try a friendly sumo challenge for themselves. You can also take photos with the wrestlers, ask questions, and enjoy a close-up view of the impressive size, strength, and personality of real sumo athletes. This is more than a show—it’s a hands-on cultural experience that lets you see, learn, and feel what makes sumo such an important part of Japanese tradition.
