A full-scale training tour of "Sumo", Japan's national sport. There are various rules for watching sumo training, and if you watch alone, you will often be warned by officials and wrestlers, and in the worst case, you may be forced to leave. At "Sumo Pro", we will accompany you with a guide who is familiar with sumo. In order not to make you feel uneasy, we will enter between the sumo stable and the customer, so you can watch with peace of mind. In addition, a dedicated guide will provide explanations in writing during the training. Although it is strict, you may get bored just by watching the monotonous training, but we will explain in detail what they are doing and what they are talking about. Unlike other companies, it is not a tour that just lets you watch. We have planned it with the aim of making it fun for customers to understand "sumo". We hope you will use it. *Normally, private conversations are strictly prohibited during training observations, but our interpreters will communicate in writing (in English) to answer questions from customers, such as explanations of the current training content, conversations between the masters, explanations of matches, and questions from customers. After the training, you can also communicate with the active wrestlers through the guide, and we will answer questions until your questions are resolved. Unlike training observations where you just watch the training and then it's over, we will have a guide specialized in sumo accompanying you and guiding you to the end. ~How it works~① Contact us the day before the day to let us know the location of the sumo stable you will be visiting, the meeting time, and important points.② On the day of the observation, meet at the entrance to the sumo stable. *Please be punctual.③ Observe the training for about 40 minutes to 1 hour (the observation time will vary depending on the training content and the physical condition of the wrestlers).④ During the observation, questions will be answered by writing with the English interpreter guide.⑤ After the training, take a commemorative photo with the wrestlers and answer questions in front of the entrance.⑥ Disband in front of the entrance to the sumo stable. *Please be sure to read the "Important points" and "Special notes" at the bottom of this page, and apply only if you agree. Please note that we will assume that you have agreed to all of the above when you apply. *The images are for reference only. The number of wrestlers participating in practice and the content of the practice may vary depending on the sumo stable you visit or the time of the visit. Please note that the health of the wrestlers takes top priority during practice.

You can enjoy dishes that are carefully prepared one by one using local ingredients, tableware, and space that the owner is particular about, and the scenery will relax your mind. The owner is particular about using seasonal ingredients that correspond to the seasons of Awaji Island! As much as possible, he uses locally grown and locally harvested ingredients. He takes the time and effort to carefully arrange each dish with delicate care, using crops that have been grown with love and seafood that have been harvested with great effort and hard work. If he cannot get them, he himself goes to pick wild vegetables and makes tea. The owner's attention to detail can be felt not only in the ingredients, but also in the tableware, forks, knives, chopsticks, temperature and space to suit the dishes served. Also, Kairi does not have a set menu. He thinks about the local ingredients that are available at the time, so the menu is handwritten by the owner and posted at the entrance of Kairi every day. Looking out from the entrance, you can see the unspoiled scenery of the past. The interior of this old-fashioned house blends in with the scenery, and you can enjoy a relaxing time in a space that exudes the beauty of traditional Japan, with an irori hearth, a veranda, nostalgic yet beautiful patterned glass windows, and a transom at the top of the room that acts as a partition while letting in air and light.

Neriko is a black pill-shaped incense that was widely used during the Heian period. In The Tale of Genji, there is a scene in which Hikaru Genji, Murasaki no Ue, and other characters are actually created and evaluated, and it is still known as one of the Six Kinds of Kaorumono. It is also used in front of the charcoal in winter during tea ceremonies. Nerika is not something to be used at room temperature, but rather to be warmed to enjoy its aroma. We placed lit charcoal in an incense burner filled with ashes, placed incense sticks on top of the warmed ashes, and enjoyed the scent that wafted through the air. Enjoy the relaxing time and space as the charcoal warms the ashes, along with the scent. It is also recommended before welcoming guests. We have boxes and bags for you to take home, as well as charcoal and incense burner ash for you to use at home.

Create your own original incense paste using only natural incense ingredients such as powdered sandalwood, dragon brain, and clove! Zuko is a powdered incense that monks apply on their palms as a purifying scent in Buddhism. Among the Japanese scents that are used by transferring the scent to something, it is the only one that can be applied directly to the body. In ancient times, people used to collect the first morning dew that had accumulated on lotus leaves, mix sandalwood with the water, and apply it to their bodies. Unlike liquid scents, it is a powder type, so it has low volatility and does not easily diffuse into the surrounding area, making it a convenient scent that can be used without being noticed by those around you. Recommended for relaxing between work. Also, since you only need to use a small amount and don't apply too much, this item is perfect for those who can't get a strong scent in a place where there are people, but still want to add something. *Some sects, such as Zen Buddhism, do not use incense.

The characters you create as you run around barefoot on a piece of paper bigger than a tatami mat will be a lifelong memory! The instructor, calligrapher Mikami, has a father and mother who are also calligraphers, and has been familiar with calligraphy since childhood. Mikami is very creative and energetic. Not satisfied with ordinary calligraphy paper, he runs around freely on the large calligraphy paper with a large brush held in both hands, and the characters he creates with his whole body are soon becoming a specialty of Naganuma Town. He also performs at Naganuma Town's summer festival and sunset market, and sometimes collaborates with local musicians. This program was created not only to show people this fun, but also to let them experience it. Participants are first surprised by the weight of the brush filled with ink, and are very satisfied with the characters they write with all their heart, sweating. The written characters take time to dry, and there are limitations on where you can hang them. You may only be asked to take a photo in front of the work.
