Tokyo: Shinjuku Sumo Show Experience With Photo
Gain insights into the exciting world of sumo wrestling with this skip-the-line admission to a sumo wrestling show. To help ensure you understand the rules and traditions, a live host provides bilingual commentary throughout.

- ✓A host reveals the secrets behind sacred sumo rituals
- ✓Capture the moment: You can take photos with sumo wrestlers
- ✓Two-in-one experience: Watch wrestling then take part in a challenge
What you'll see & do
- ✓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.
