Overview
Discover Tokyo beyond the modern cityscape through Japanese craftsmanship, Shinto culture, and the world of sumo. Start in Ginza with a hands-on chopstick-making experience. Create your own pair of traditional Japanese chopsticks and take them home as a unique souvenir. Next, visit Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine, a historic shrine with a deep connection to the history of sumo. Learn about the origins and traditions of sumo while exploring the shrine with your English-speaking guide. The highlight is an authentic sumo experience inside a former sumo stable. Unlike typical sumo experience venues, this location was actually used as a professional training ground. Learn about sumo’s history, rules, and techniques, watch a live demonstration, and even try basic sumo techniques alongside a real sumo wrestler! Experience Japanese culture through hands-on activities, history, and Japan’s traditional sport—all in one memorable day.
