Sumo - an honor

5.00We had the honor of attending a 90 minute Sumo Wrestler Training at the Nakamura-beya Sumo Stable. We arranged it through nexspark (dot) jp who were very helpful answering our questions. We observed stretching, strengthening and collision training. They provided an audio guide in English, gave us presents and photo'd us with the wrestlers. What an amazing experience!
Fantastic

5.00It’s the real thing. Our teenage boys loved it. It was authentic and not a show. They are amazing athletes
The first 20-30 minutes...

5.00The first 20-30 minutes seems uneventful as they warm up but the action is intense and exciting once they get started with three wrestling
Recommendation for sure!

5.00This was a perfect way to start my holiday in Japan! It came with an audio guide and leaflet which helped me understand what was going on in their training and I was literally a meter away from the sumos training/sparring. It was truly inspiring to see the dedication up close. The organizers were super helpful too and very easy to get to, would recommend!
