    Our family very much enjoyed the sumo show experience with Jambo and Diko. We found the balance of audience interaction with not being too pushy to get involved perfect. Highly recommend this activity as the meal provided including chanko soup and tonkatsu delicious as well!

  • Something great to do with family and frends ❤️

  • Up Close and Fun Introduction to Sumo

    The sumo show with lunch was a highlight of our trip. It was fun, informative, and a lot more interactive than I expected. The wrestlers showed different techniques, shared history, and answered questions in a way that felt relaxed and friendly. I didn’t realize how fast and powerful sumo bouts are until I saw it up close. It gave me a new appreciation for the sport. The lunch was tasty and well portioned. It worked nicely with the pacing of the show so you could eat while still paying attention. The staff kept things moving without rushing anyone and were attentive the whole time. What I liked most was how approachable the experience felt. You don’t need to already know anything about sumo to enjoy it. You leave with both a good meal and a better understanding of a traditional part of Japanese culture. I would recommend it for anyone curious about sumo or looking for a memorable outing in Tokyo. Perfect for travelers and worth the time.
