5.00This SUMO show is completely excellent ! The food was a typical food a Sumo eats during training. The host and Sumo wrestlers explained not only the history but the techniques used in a fight. The place was very welcoming and the Sumo wrestlers were very friendly and professional. I will definitely come back again on my next trip to Japan. 100% recommend people to come and see the show!
Great show!
