Awesome show. Food was delicious and it was a very entertaining experience. The area was also fantastic. Lots of shopping and things to do near by. The gift shop at this venue was also really good. We absolutely enjoyed the whole performance.

We didn’t know what to expect. We loved everything from the delicious food to the super entertaining sumo wrestling match. We also got a picture and a souvenir bag. Definitely worth the price

Pretty disappointed with this experience. I expected it to be touristy based on reviews but not as much as it actually was. Most of the evening was watching 8 (!) other tourists battle the sumo wrestlers. The portion dedicated to the sumo wrestlers was very short and the geisha dance was also very short. The sumo wrestlers wrestled each other 3 short rounds less than a minute each after some other background given at the beginning but everything seemed really rushed. I really wished there was more of the actual wrestlers competing or providing more demo- they seemed great. I didn’t pay $450 to watch other tourists. The food was fine; the emcee made inappropriate cringy comments. Would not recommend unless you have a lot of cash and time to burn.
