We highly recommend Sumo Everyday! We booked a morning practice watching and we had the best experience in a sumo stable in Nagoya. It is very special to be that close to the professional wrestlers and see how they practice together. More than 2 hours of absolute excitement!
Also, the wrestlers were very nice and we could also talk to them after the practice.
What is to highlight: Angel from Sumo Everyday assisted us on a very personal level. We could find a date that fit our travel tour very well. Very responsive and everything easy going. Also, we received all the necessary instructions on how to behave etc. in advance. A true insider tip for your Japan travels.
“This was a great experience for our family of five. We have three teenagers and they all like a lot. It was a very authentic experience and did not feel too “touristy”. We chose to do the lunch in the sumo stable and got to spend time talking with the sumo wrestlers and asking about their daily lives.”

“Watching morning practice up close gave me a whole new appreciation for the strength, focus, and culture behind sumo.”

What was the best thing about buying tournament tickets through Sumo Everyday? Time. Time not to worry about availability or bookings. Time to watch more matches, ceremonies and rituals. Time to wander around the stadium and check out the merchandise. Time to enjoy our tea house refreshments. Time to watch the rikishi up close as they arrive at the arena. And simply time to stretch out and take it all in. We even had time to unexpectedly meet two of our favourite rikishi after their matches!
On a quick packaged tour, these kinds of moments rarely happen. It can feel cramped, regimented and rushed, and it’s all over before you know it. But with Sumo Everyday, everything is organised from the very beginning, giving you back the most valuable thing of all: time.
Their professional and honest service delivered us outstanding box seats for what turned out to be our best Hatsu Basho experience ever. So yes… time is what made our authentic sumo experience even greater than the sum of all our favourite moments.

“Sumo Everyday was extremely helpful buying tickets for the September tournament in Tokyo. Consistently communicative and informative about the process and the pricing. Upon arrival to my hotel in Tokyo my tickets were waiting. I especially appreciated the Tea House entrance and the full meal set up. We were escorted to our seats. The whole experience was even beyond my expectations. Thank you.”

After attempting to get tickets from the official site and striking out with other contacts, I saw an ad message on social media from a Sumo Everyday representative about getting tickets. So I reached out directly. The process was easy, we were put on a wait list and when tickets became available she contacted me. The seats were a box closer than we would have ever thought possible to the dohyo. The tickets were shipped to our hotel and we were able to pick up at check-in. It was an easy and smooth process. Sumo Everyday answered all of our questions and we had an amazing time and some of our party even got on NHK. It really was an amazing experience. Thank you all for making this possible!

Sumo Everyday was quick to respond and very helpful with answering questions and providing info to improve our experience. Even through the hiccup of PayPal not working out for me and using alternative means, they provided clear updates on the status of my payment and tracking info of the sumo tickets. The day itself was fantastic, with Sumo gaining several new fans.
