My cab got lost and the manager called me to help guide us to the correct location. The show was excellent and we learned a great deal about sumo. After demonstrations and an actual match, we were invited to actually participate. I was the only woman game and the sumo were so kind and helped me. ...

Overall, this was an amazing experience.

We easily checked in and were able to find comfortable seating in the small arena. The audience was small, and a good size so it was still engaging and felt personalized. It started out with an informational slideshow teaching us about sumo wrestling, and the MC was entertaining and interesting. ...

This Experience was So Much Fun and We Learned Some Interesting Facts

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The venue was also fun. They demonstrated the moves and explained the history. They invited people to challenge the wrestlers. Several of the rugby players were surprised how strong these retired sumo wrestlers were. We really enjoyed it.

Highly recommended when in Osaka !

We had the best time at Sumo Studio Osaka! Sawa, the MC, was fantastic, shared detailed insights into the history of sumo. We had been traveling for many weeks and arrived feeling very tired, but the 1.5-hour show somehow rejuvenated us. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Osaka!
