Experience training with former rikishi!
Sumo is a traditional sport born of the human instinct to fight and combine, and has been practiced throughout the world since ancient times. Its origins in Japan are related to the myth of the contest of strength in the Kojiki (712) and Nihonshoki (720) and the legendary Gozen match between Shukune and Kesuhaya.
Throughout its long history, sumo has gradually formalized and refined its rules and style, becoming a sport unique to Japan and its own traditional culture. Elements such as the ring-entering ceremony, the ranking list, the decorative belt, the chonmage hairstyle, the kimono, and the match itself are all reminiscent of the Edo period and remain strong in modern sumo.
Deeply rooted in Japanese culture, sumo has always been a part of people's lives. It has various aspects of history, culture, ritual, and sport, each with its own depth. Experience the culture that cannot be captured on TV, such as the gyoji and ring-entering ceremony during the Warring States period and the decorative belt that has been worn since the Edo period, at the event site. Experience firsthand the culture that has been passed down from generation to generation!
