I would not recommend...

I would not recommend this place — choose a different Sumo experience. We were seated in the very back, and I could barely see the show unless I stood up because other guests were directly in front of us. That was frustrating, but not even the biggest issue. The actual performance lasted about 5 minutes. After that, they let kids come up to wrestle (which was a nice touch), followed by a man being able to wrestle for his birthday. I asked if I could participate and was told no — even though there was still at least 30 minutes left in what was advertised as a one-hour experience. Instead, we were told we could take pictures. That’s the only reason I’m giving one star — the photo opportunity was decent. But overall, the entire event, including the show, photos, and interaction, wrapped up in about 40 minutes. For the price we paid, this was incredibly disappointing. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Highly recommend this experience! The food before the start of the experience was delicious. The experience itself was very informative and we learnt a lot about sumo and how the sport works in Japan. The sumo challenge at the end of the experience was so much fun!! The staff were so friendly and provided an amazing experience for us. Thank you so much for a great experience!!

This was an enjoyable and entertaining overview of Sumo. It was cheesy and geared toward tourists, but I had read other reviews and was expecting this. The two sumo demonstrators showed us the rules of Sumo and then allowed volunteers to dress in Sumo costume and challenge them. This was a highlight for my group because my 9 year old participated and had a blast. The duration was only an hour even though the description said 1-2 hours.
