- Ryogoku - Dive into Japan’s national sport with a two-hour Family Sumo Workshop in Ryogoku, the epicenter of sumo. This interactive event takes place in a sumo-themed restaurant featuring an authentic clay ring, allowing both adults and children to train, play, and learn together.
A bilingual host introduces the rituals of sumo, followed by two former wrestlers demonstrating shiko (leg stomps), teppen (push drills), and suriashi (sliding footwork). Participants can join them in the ring or simply watch and capture photos. Parents have the option to participate or observe.
Then, enjoy a live match between professional wrestlers. In the final challenge, a volunteer dons a padded suit and attempts to push a 160kg wrestler—fun is guaranteed!
Recharge with a mini chanko hotpot, a protein-rich stew favored by wrestlers. Vegan, vegetarian, and allergy-friendly options are available with 24 hours’ notice. Soft drinks are included.
Conclude with a photo session at no additional cost. All ages are welcome. No prior experience is necessary—just come and enjoy the fun!
