We spend a day at the SUMO in Tokyo! This Japan Travel Vlog, we attend the Tokyo Grand Sumo Tournament 2021!

Watching the Sumo wrestling live from the Ryogoku Kokugikan arena was an unforgettable Japan experience. Sumo is considered the national sport of Japan, and is steeped in Japanese cultural traditions. There are six Sumo tournaments held each year (three in the Tokyo arena), and we were lucky enough to be visiting Tokyo at the time of the September tournament. We definitely recommend watching a day of Sumo if you visit Japan during one of the tournaments! It's one for the Japan bucket list for sure!

After watching the Sumo tournament, we try the traditional sumo wrestler's feast, known as "Chanko Nabe". Chanko Nabe is the food that Sumo wrestlers typically eat, it is a type of Japanese hot pot, which makes part of the Sumo fighter's weight-gain diet. There are many restaurants serving Chanko Nabe in the area surrounding the arena, and we definitely recommend trying it- it's delicious!

We hope you enjoy our Sumo vlog! x
