If you dare, you can change into your sumo attire (a special costume is set aside for you) and challenge the ex-sumo wrestlers at their own sport. Give all that you have got, and then take a photo together to commemorate the match.

Don’t want to take on the physical challenge? You’ll still love the next part of this unique experience. Chanko nabe is a flavorful hot pot dish whose main components are usually chicken and a lavish heap of colorful vegetables. Chanko is the sumo dish par excellence and pros eat a tremendous amount of it, along with tons of rice, in order to maintain or gain weight to help them fight their opponents. While the serving of chanko nabe provided to the general public at chanko restaurants doesn’t quite match the quantity consumed by these massive athletes, it is still a hearty and filling dish that will challenge the capacity of your stomach. Fun fact: the staff cooking your chanko nabe are also retired sumo wrestlers!
