We get up close to powerful wrestlers and experience one of Japan’s most iconic traditions in an unforgettable setting. *The sumo show is normally held outdoors, with Mount Fuji as the backdrop. In case of rain, strong winds, or other unsuitable weather conditions, the show will be moved indoors for safety reasons.* By 12:00, we continue to the lakeside of Lake Yamanaka (Swan Lake area), where we explore the famous koi pier, spot swans, and relax by the water (1 hour).
