Sumo Experience. Worth doing!

5.00We booked this the day before so I was (my usual) sceptical. No need. The communication about the meeting time and place was perfect, the show and experience were fabulous. Great way to get to know and understand a little more about Sumo. Well done to the competitors from the crowd! You were awesome!! The Sumo wrestlers were a good mix of serious and relaxed! (Relaxed for the crowd competitors!)
Great experience!

5.00Last minute decision but so worth it! All family members had a great time, learned a lot of information about Sumo (presented enthusiastically) and several got in on the fun at the end. Very fun! Thank you especially to the wrestlers who were also very funny but took their sport seriously.
Great experience!
