Sumo Show, Ring Practice & Chanko-Nabe Dinner with a Retired Wrestler · Ryogoku

About this experience

The Sumo Show, Ring Practice and Chanko-Nabe Dinner with a Retired Wrestler is a structured cultural experience in Ryogoku, Tokyo's historic sumo district. The session is led by a retired professional wrestler and combines a live demonstration of sumo techniques, a guided ring practice session, and a shared meal of chanko-nabe, the high-calorie hot pot traditionally eaten by wrestlers to build and maintain mass. Participants learn basic sumo stances and moves on a regulation dohyo ring before sitting down to chanko-nabe alongside their host. The retired wrestler shares first-hand accounts of training life and tournament culture in Tokyo. Tickets cover the full programme: the demonstration, hands-on ring time, the chanko-nabe dinner, and direct Q&A time with the host wrestler.
