The concept of "Only now. Only here. Only for you." concentrates on providing the individual with otherwise unattainable experiences, and providing "real", not made-for-tourist programs.

To the Cultural Activities, we, Arashio-Beya, offer a program "A Day in Life of a Sumo Wrestler", in which you can watch traditional sumo practice closely, and afterward enjoy a meal of chanko (sumo meal) with our oyakata (master) and sumo wrestlers.

From Oyakata

Arashiobeya is home to 7 rikishi (sumo wrestlers) and one gyouji (sumo referee).

According to tradition, rikishi exert themselves to the limit during the training sessions, so it is quite impressive to watch them. But as soon as training is over, the atmosphere of this rooms changes completely to one of relaxation and home. Enjoy talking to the sumo wrestlers, ask them questions and get to know more about sumo. I look forward to seeing you here soon!

Rules for watching Keiko

The dohyo (wrestling ring) is a sacred place where Sumo wrestlers dedicate their life and soul. In viewing their training, you must be in compliance with the following rules (we will ask you to leave if you cannot comply them).

• Be respectful at all times
• No chatting
• No eating (including chewing gum)
• No entry to the dohyo or the dirt area
• No sitting with your legs straight (either sit on your heels or sit cross-legged)
• Remove hats or headgear

Other:

• Photography is allowed. [When you take photos for commercial purposes, you must be permitted by Nihon Sumo Kyokai who controles every Rikishis' right of portrait; :tel 03-3623-5111]
• You can keep your shoes on when sitting on the bench under the stairs, but take your shoes off on the tatami area.

Thank you.
