From the beginning to end , Guy and the sumo wrestlers were great entertainers. They encouraged crowd participation and Guy narrated the history of Sumo: we had a chance to ask questions too. The food was good and all you could eat so come with an empty belly: You also have a free drink and goodie bag at the end 👏🫶

One word… HILARIOUS!! So much fun to be had during the show. Definitely for all ages. What a great way to introduce kids and teenagers to Sumo. We also had the pleasure of seeing a Geisha perform. My kids generally dislike cultural activities but they had a blast. Have been to Japan 3 times and never got around to doing anything Sumo related. Highly recommend this tour. We were able to be in a smaller venue “annexe” which was cosy and up close to the arena. The sumos were super entertaining and amazingly athletic even though they are retired.
