We had the honor of attending a 90 minute Sumo Wrestler Training at the Nakamura-beya Sumo Stable. We arranged it through nexspark (dot) jp who were very helpful answering our questions. We observed stretching, strengthening and collision training. They provided an audio guide in English, gave us presents and photo'd us with the wrestlers. What an amazing experience!
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful review. We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the sumo training experience at Nakamura-beya and that our service could be of help. We are sincerely grateful for your thoughtful feedback. Should we have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future, we will be more than happy to serve you with the same dedication. And if you could wear the original T-shirt you purchased next time, that would make us even happier! :-D With our warmest thanks, NexSpark
It’s the real thing. Our teenage boys loved it. It was authentic and not a show. They are amazing athletes
Dear Brian, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re truly happy to hear that your whole family enjoyed the experience – especially your teenage boys and your adorable little girl! It was a pleasure having you with us. Your children were so well-mannered and engaged throughout the visit. We’re glad the authenticity of real sumo training left such a meaningful impression. The wrestlers are indeed amazing athletes, and your kind words mean a lot to us and to them. We hope this becomes a memorable highlight of your time in Japan! :) Warm regards,
The first 20-30 minutes seems uneventful as they warm up but the action is intense and exciting once they get started with three wrestling
Thank you so much for your review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the intensity and excitement once the practice got underway. You're absolutely right—the first 20–30 minutes can feel a bit slow, as it's the warm-up phase. This part is actually a very important part of sumo training, where wrestlers prepare their minds and bodies for the intense matches that follow. But we completely understand how it can feel uneventful at first, especially for first-time viewers. We're so happy that it became exciting for you as the action picked up! Thanks again for your honest and thoughtful feedback—it helps future guests know what to expect. We hope to welcome you again someday! Warm regards,
Very nice experience! Super cool to watch the traditional training of Sumo wrestling. Truely a recommendation to do during visiting Japan!
Thanks so much for the kind words! 😊 We’re really glad you enjoyed the sumo training – it’s such a special experience, right? Hope you had an amazing time in Japan and thanks again for the recommendation! 💪🇯🇵
This was a perfect way to start my holiday in Japan! It came with an audio guide and leaflet which helped me understand what was going on in their training and I was literally a meter away from the sumos training/sparring. It was truly inspiring to see the dedication up close. The organizers were super helpful too and very easy to get to, would recommend!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! 😊 We're delighted that you enjoyed the training and found the audio guide useful in understanding more about sumo. Getting up close to the wrestlers truly makes for an unforgettable memory! 🙌 we hope to welcome you back in the future!
