We are so happy we booked this event! It had something for everyone. We learned a lot about Sumo wrestling competition, training and traditions. These are very impressive athletes who are revered in Japanese culture. This experience helped us learn to appreciate it in a very engaging and entertaining setting. Both of the wrestlers really enjoyed kidding around with the audience. One of them was a former #4 ranked national champion which was really cool. We also loved the traditional Sumo dinner. It turns out that Sumo wrestlers aren’t just athletes, they are also chefs. Makes sense that if you have to consume 10,000 calories a day for your training diet the food needs to be good. This is really something most visitors to Japan would enjoy. It is a delicious meal with excellent entertainment and you actually learn some cultural stuff too.
WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS!!!
