If you’re one of the lucky few spectators, you'll don a sumo mawashi and costume and step into the ring for a friendly duel, an experience that brings you face-to-face with the raw power and discipline of the sport.

Delectable Chanko Nabe & Tonkatsu!

Post wrestling, indulge in hearty treats with Chanko Nabe, a sumo wrestler's staple diet. This Japanese-style hotpot, prepared by the wrestlers, promises an explosion of flavors and nutrition. The savory Tonkatsu Bento is another delectable treat on the menu, with some ice cream and a clear cup of Oolong tea as the finishing touch.
