Great Intro to Sumo

Such a fun way to get an intro to sumo! The MC was super engaging and it was so fun watching how the wrestlers train and eat, and best of all - WRESTLE! It was also very interactive - we got to ask the sumo wrestlers questions and even got to watch some audience members attempt to wrestle them! That was definitely the highlight. They kept it fun and light but also helped us learn a lot about sumo culture. The food was decent, but unlimited so it’s hard to complain. Such a fun environment with a very engaged audience. If you’re in Japan for the first time and interested in sumo but too intimidated to go to a tournament, this show is for you.
Definitely worth the cost!

This was my first time watching sumo wrestling live. I knew what it was from stories and movies, but never had the privilege to watch it until today. This experience was so much fun! Really grateful I was chosen as a guest to appear as a sumo wrestler against the talented wrestlers. Everyone was very friendly and kind. Loved this experience and the food! It was worth the investment for sure. If you’re reading this, book your event, it’ll be fun! I promise!
Good afternoon treat

This show was a lot of fun. While not pretending to be an actual Sumo event it was informative and entertaining. The meal and bar service were also very good. Photos and gifts a bonus. If you are unable to see the real thing and or want a good time I recommend.
Sumo sensational!
