5.00Great fun for our family. Very happy with the whole experience. Learned about the sport and got to ask the questions I’ve always had. All the people we met were very nice.
I pushed a sumo wrestler and I won...or maybe he just let me win

5.00This was a great snapshot into the life of being a sumo. Our guide, Tomer, was excellent. He gave us a brief history of the sumo while on the train on the way over. Tomer also translated for us what the stablemaster was telling the guys when he was giving constructive criticism during the training as well as explained things that we were watching. This was a definitely and engaging learning experience watching the sumos spar at practice and the intensity with which they gave their all every time. The sumo wrestlers were very nice gentlemen and answered any questions that we asked and were great sports when we tried to wrestle them. They also were willing to take any pictures that we wanted. We almost missed the experience due to train hiccups, but Tomer and the company were so accommodating and bent over backwards to make sure that we didn't miss out on the experience. I would recommend this experience hands down any day.
