The Intermediatheque (IMT) Museum is a psychedelic world of its own. But, it was worth the effort because seeing this Japanese tradition was definitely one of the Top 10 things I did in Tokyo! If you don’t speak Japanese seeing a practice on your own may be a little tricky (I went to Hakkaku Sumo Stable and needed a translator). Make sure to call ahead to confirm that they will be having practice on the day you arrive!

The most common are Kasugano Beya, Takasago Beya and Musashigawa Beya. Though there are over 40 training stables, most in the Ryogoku district, only a few accept visitors. The practices at the sumo wrestling stable are not attractions created for tourists-the athletes are not putting on a show for you-they are in serious training and need to be shown respect while you are there. You can’t fully understand the intensity of the sumo wrestling sport unless you are up close and personal at an intense morning practice session to witness the panting, grunting and dripping sweat.
