This is more than a sumo experience—you’ll step into the world of sumo yourself.

Learn directly from a former professional sumo wrestler, put on a real sumo belt, experience traditional sumo movements, and take photos in your sumo attire. Then relax with personalized body care from the same host, who is also a licensed judo therapist.

Finish your experience by wearing a yukata actually worn by a sumo wrestler and capture unforgettable photos together.

With a maximum of only two guests, this is a personal and interactive way to experience authentic Japanese culture in Nagasaki—not simply watch it from the sidelines.

Come and experience sumo, wellness, and Japanese culture in a way you can’t find anywhere else.

*The main instructor speaks only Japanese. However, an earphone-type smart translation device will be provided for English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and other languages. Please note that as it is machine translation, some delays or mistranslations may occasionally occur.
