Absolutely AMAZING experience! Was so much fun and informative! Can tick “fight a professional sumo wrestler” off my bucket list! Everyone involved in the experience was fun, energetic and professional. I would give 10 stars if I could!

We absolutely loved this experience. My family and I learned so much about the Sumo culture and tradition. What an eye opener! The host was super warm , friendly and incredibly informative. The wrestlers were super impressive but also gracious and welcoming. 100 percent recommend.

We had the best time at the sumo experience. The host was phenomenal and very entertaining and informative. The sumo wrestlers( retired real life sumos) Kai and Ryuu were just brilliant and the star of the shows. I got to wrestle with them which was pretty cool. We missed our time slot and the studio (kana was amazing) helped us with giving a slot in the afternoon which was much appreciated. Will highly recommend.

The staff is fantastic. I learned so much about Sumo wrestling and, above all, I had a lot of fun with the presentation. This is how it should always be when you want to learn more about the culture of a new country. 100% recommended. 🤗

Nice and detailed! A good view about Sumo ☺️ Also the engament with the audience super appreciate! Not in the very center of the city, but with metro station exact in front of the sumo studio.

It was a very engaging and welcoming experience, in which I learned a little more about Sumo. I'd seen Sumo before in my home city, but I wasn't able to try out my strength against one of the wrestlers there at the time. Here, everyone had a chance to do so if they wanted to, which I think is great. Thanks to Toyo for the round. Super impressive!

Pretty cool experience. Wrestling with the sumos was fun. I recommend they should supply much larger clothes and sandals in the future
