Fabulous Experience

Educational, entertaining and enjoyable show and experience!

The whole show was very well organised and balanced between being informative and entertaining. Well worth the money and time spent - a must attraction for any time in Japan but this one in particular is highly recommended for all … kids and adults alike!

Energizing Experience

I have always loved the art of sumo and really wanted to see real life sumo wrestlers... The two wrestlers are super kind and have amazing showmanship. Everything from learning the history, the techniques, the warm-ups, and the fight was so energizing for me! I’ll remember forever!

Engaging Sumo Experience

Overall, this was an amazing experience. The audience was small, and a good size so it was still engaging and felt personalized. The wrestlers and employees were all respectful and gave a great show and representation of a sumo match.

Fun and authentic sumo experience

Our family of four really enjoyed this, it was more fun and authentic than we expected. The guide was very engaging, teaching us some interesting history of sumo before leading us through some drills and training with two retired sumo wrestlers. Would highly recommend.
