We learned, we laughed, we loved it!

5.00I dislike writing reviews, but this place has earned one. Such a fun and welcoming group of people. We sat ringside and were given instruction in the history and basics of Sumo wrestling (this while enjoying a quite good dinner and drinks). Then, we watched our two competitors warm up and do battle. It was really impressive. But nothing could match the moment we donned our own inflatable Sumo suits and entered the ring ourselves to test our skills against the professionals. Hilarious would be an understatement. Everyone from the wrestlers to the host to the other staff was so delightful and friendly, they made it a truly memorable evening. Our three-week stay in Japan was marked by great food, extraordinary art, rich history and magnificent scenery. But this, this madcap experience was a high point we will never forget. An absolute must-do.
Entertaining and educational

5.00Educational, fun, and surprisingly entertaining! The sumo experience was a great mix of culture and humor, and we learned a lot about the traditions behind the sport. The audience participation made it even more enjoyable—getting people involved kept the energy high and added lots of laughs. Definitely a memorable experience and worth doing!
