Activity itinerary

【Experience Highlights】 ・The only place in Osaka Prefecture to observe active professional sumo wrestlers’ morning training up close ・Authentic chanko nabe cooked right in front of you by the wrestlers themselves ・Share a meal and interact with the wrestlers after training ・Accompanied by an interpreter for deeper understanding of traditions and techniques What you witness is the raw morning training of active professional sumo wrestlers. The impact of bodies colliding. The sharp commands of the stable master. The air thick with tension. This is sumo in its purest form. Within Osaka Prefecture, this is the only place where you can observe active wrestlers training at such close range. An interpreter accompanies the visit so international guests can better understand the traditions and techniques they are witnessing. After training, share a meal with the wrestlers and enjoy authentic chanko nabe — the traditional hot pot that fuels their powerful bodies — prepared before your eyes. Freed from the intensity of the dohyo, you will sit together, talk, and glimpse the human side of these remarkable athletes. A true behind-the-scenes cultural encounter. Only here.
