Super awesome experience here in Arashio Beya Sunk Stable. Not an usual place tourist will visit when they here in Japan, but I feel this is a must visit especially for my first trip to Japan. Make your way early as the wrestlers will have their training from around 7.30am to 9.30am. if you stay a little longer you will get the chance to have a photo with the sumo wrestler after their training.

They are so kind as to let people watch through the windows. We got there early at 7:30am (when they start) but there were already people there and more arrived and took the back. There are reflections in the window glass but you can still take pretty cool pictures and most of all experience them training. They start with the less experienced fighters and work their way up. Some of the Sumo fighters come out alone to strech and cool down after their matches but they don´t allow their picture being taken outside so they cross their arms in an X. It was very cool to see even if you don´t like sports or Sumo. And in the walk back we got to see 2 Sumo fighters in different points of the neighbourhood dressed up in their traditional dress and sandals. A highlight of the trip to Japan.
