“Flights of Fancy” Friday: It’s Sumo Wrestling Time!

Sure, you could go to Japan and take in a sumo wrestling match. Or, you could stop living on the sidelines and get in the game! Alright, you’re not going to have to wrestle anyone three times your size, but you can see what it’s like to prepare for a bout. The “A Day in the Life of a Sumo Wrestler” tour allows you to watch morning practice, eat traditional sumo meals, socialize with sumo wrestlers, and generally see what it takes to compete at the top levels of the sport.
After one day, if you don’t decide to throw it all away to pursue the life of a sumo wrestler, you can always spend the rest of your vacation exploring all that Tokyo has to offer. Use our Deal Finder-Asia tool for airfare deals to Tokyo from your hometown.
