5.00We visited the Asakusa Sumo Show at midday and while I initially baulked a little at the price, this show included a Geisha girl dance and seemed okay. We had a good lunch as part of the show, this lunch is all you can eat and allows you to request more using the QR code throughout the show. One drink is provided free. The show was good fun, sumo were funny, responsive to questions and engaged the audience. We laughed so much that the price and my concerns were forgotten. A great couple of hours.
Good for any size group of any ages

5.00All you can eat food comes with the price of ticket. Drinks are extra, but not priced too crazy. I went by myself and it looked like a full house. Staff was kind and efficient in getting everyone to seats with food and cleaning up afterward. Most spoke great English so non-Japanese speakers can get by with very little Japanese. Family friendly show, but entertaining for adults as well. They had a portion where we could ask the retired sumo wrestlers questions while others from the crowd got dressed out to challenge them. Got explanation of how sumo works and some history, but nothing dragged on and was all good information.
Awesome Cultural Experience with a Flare
