    The Sumo show was a lot of fun. Entertaining and informative with lots of opportunities for audience participation. It's a fun way to introduce Sumo to those who can't see the real matches. Service and the food is great also. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone has fun!

    We were hoping for an engaging cultural experience, but the sumo show fell flat. It felt more like a touristy skit than an authentic demonstration. The atmosphere was cheesy, the pacing was slow, and there wasn’t enough depth or explanation to make it interesting. If you’re looking for real insight into sumo wrestling, this isn’t it. Skip it and visit a sumo stable or tournament instead.

    Overall this was very entertaining and informative but it was a bit cheesy. My husband and I found ourselves laughing throughout and cheering during the sumo matches at the end. Great for families!

    Entertaining and worth the money. Learned a lot of fun facts about sumo wrestling and wrestlers had comedic personalities as well as emcee. The geisha dancing was also beautiful. Finally got to take on one of the wrestlers. They gave a nice little gift at the end with a canvas bag, wooden box (I should have bought the sumo figurine), and stickers.
