Sumo wrestlers and their apprentices train every morning to uphold Japan’s national sport, sumo, and ensure its legacy for future generations.
Unlike the official matches at the Kokugikan, this experience allows you to observe the wrestlers’ breathing and facial expressions up close, and hear the sounds of their bodies colliding during the intense morning practice sessions.
The coach’s voice is strong and commanding, which might be surprising. However, this is possible due to the trust he has established with his students and the rikishi who train with him, and it is this trust that sustains the Ikazuchi Sumo Stable.
If you wish to support the rikishi after practice, please consider leaving them a tip.
