We had the BEST time at this sumo show / activity. I highly recommend it to all families. The host and sumo wrestlers were highly entertaining with their banter. Our kids were bent over laughing. There's an opportunity for guests to volunteer to fight against the sumo wrestlers and our little one had such a great time. It was hilarious and a highlight of our Tokyo trip!!

Touristy but fun! Pitted audience sides against each other. The sumo wrestlers were very funny in a slapstick way! Enjoyed the audience attempts to win against the sumo wrestlers. Food was traditional but marginal. Service was exceptional!

I went with my brother and while we expected to have a good time, neither of us expected the experience to be as terrific as it was. The whole experience from start to finish was magical. Very informative and the wrestlers were very charismatic. It was all so good!
