Family of four with kids 11, 9 and this was my daughter’s favorite event in Tokyo! The first hour is explaining some of the rules and training which I thought was very informative. The second hour is challenges from the audience which I could have skipped. The food and service was great. You get a souvenir bag and a photo. I’m glad we went!!

🔥 Had a blast at the Tokyo Sumo Entertainment Show! 🤯 Food was 🔥 - that Chicken Hot Pot was THE bomb 😋! But the real stars were the sumo wrestlers 👏. Superb entertainment, super interactive, and seriously engaging with the crowd. Laughed, cheered, and learnt heaps of cool sumo trivia 💡. Loved how the wrestlers and the geisha gave back to the audience for photos - major props to them 👊. Host was on point, very well-spoken and kept things flowing nicely 😄. BUT, gotta give a special shoutout to the geisha appearance 👸 - wow, just delightful and totally enticing to watch. Caught a glimpse of a strong tradition, and it was pure magic ✨. If you're in Tokyo, do NOT miss this! 😆 5 stars, would smash 🤯.

This was an interesting experience to learn more about sumo wrestling. It was a light friendly atmoshere that engaged the audience. The good was not great although apparently it was all you could eat. It was nice to get a picture & a small goodie bag for a souvenir. I thought it was expensive for what we got. The food was disappointing.

This was so entertaining. The check in process to the show was organized and fast, our seats were perfect and the meal was delicious and served promptly! The sumo wrestlers were very funny and entertaining and the emcee was very informative! A fantastic experience that our group of 6 would highly recommend! Oh, and the venue is walkable to/from the Senso-ji Temple, which was an added bonus, because we visited that first. A great area for food and shopping!!

It was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. You can get there earlier and start eating and you can eat as much as you want!

It is a wonderful introduction to what Sumo is with performance and demonstration by retired sumo wrestlers. It is also curated as a funny, chill stage show with dinner. We enjoyed it as a fun, evening date. You get to meet and have photos with the retired Sumo wrestlers.
