Sumo experience!

5.00It was a fun experience! I went with my boyfriend and his mom and the they were very nice and explained the history of sumo wrestling, show us a match or two on a projector while we ate Tonkatsu,and then they real show began! The food is prepared by real sumo wrestlers which is really cool, its food that they eat on the daily. The show is really entertaining! You are able to go up and attempt to wrestle, and they do explain on how to do it properly. Overall It was a fun experience!! 1000/10 would do this again!
An excellent introduction...

5.00An excellent introduction to Sumo! Very informative and entertaining. The included lunch prepared by the sumo wrestlers is delicious, and the show is fabulous (and interactive if you’re brave enough to take on an ex-professional sumo wrestler!). We also had the opportunity to ask any questions we had, and to take photos with the wrestlers at the end of the session.
Must do in Tokyo!!
