Sumo tour by Tokyo city tour
Entrance of Sumo stable.-sumo-beya

I went to sumo stable to see a training of sumo wrestler,
They are training very hard for matches.
Sumo is national sport with a long tradition,
and people from every walk of life enjoy it.
Matches by professional sumo wrestlers are called o-zumo.


The wrestlers always belong to a Sumo stable and
they practice daily under Oyakaya whois the stable master.
Sumo stable form a solid virtical relationship
between master and disciple.
Lowest on the ranking list are assigned to serve those higher up,
doing such as preparing the Special dish that is called Chanko-nabe.

Since the 1960's, oversea tours of professional sumo tournaments
have occurred and have become so populer.
In addition, the accomplishments of foreign wrestler recently have
attracted attention.
YOkozuna-grand chanpion- and Ozeki-second highest rank
are foreign westlers.
