A full day is more than enough for an in-depth tour of Osaka! The only exception is the section of the Kita-Osaka Kyuko Line to Katsuo-ji Temple (Esaka ➡️ Minoh-Kayano), which requires an additional fee of ¥240. This was for two people, so both of our QR codes will be on the same phone. Your travel companion will enter the station first, and then the person with the phone will scan their code to enter!

Reviews: Ochiizumi Stables in Osaka: Sumo Show, Sumo & Kimono Experience, and Chankonabe and Other Japanese Cuisine
Guest User2025-10-07
After the beginning trepidation, it was really so much fun. It’s a bit far out, close to the airport, but easy to get to. I booked the afternoon show. They say turn up early, but don’t turn up before 5pm because they don’t let you in. You already have been allocated a table so it doesn’t matter too much what time you arrive. The annoying thing was they kept playing an intro video on repeat; and the same songs from Bruno Mars on repeat. However, once the show started it was actually great, you could meet 3 sumo guys, they were so friendly, the rules were explained in Japanese and English; and you can try it as well. It was a lot of fun. They could do with a better welcome at the beginning, a better menu and better in-between music, but overall for the experience it was fantastic.
