Kyoto: Sumo Show with Photo & Experience

We enjoyed the sumo experience, although the hour-long show dragged a bit in places, especially since most matches last only a few seconds! The explanations of sumo traditions were interesting, but the highlight was watching audience volunteers try wrestling—easily the funniest part! Overall, a fun experience I’d recommend, especially since Kyoto doesn’t host professional sumo tournaments.

Great experience, it's not just a sumo show, they also explain the rules and everything surrounding the sport.

great experience to learn about the Sumo culture and be one on one with the sport. highly recommended

really good show super funny recommed to anyone wanting to watch a sumo show.

Amazing experience and so much fun for our 10 years old son (who won the fight!!!)

Absolutely brilliant experience! The show was fantastic from start to finish. The host was great, really engaging and made everyone feel involved, creating a fun and lively atmosphere. The venue was easy to find, and the overall atmosphere was brilliant. A fantastic way to experience the excitement and tradition of sumo wrestling while visiting Japan. Highly recommend to anyone visiting – definitely a highlight of our trip!

A fun and informative experience! Such a great start to our night in Kyoto

we really enjoyed the show and learning about sumo. the host was great and the wrestlers put on an amazing show. comfy cushions on seats and good selection of drinks available.

Loved the informative background and the fun experience. would definitely do it again. Sumo wrestling is not an easy sport and it was great to see it first hand.

absolutely awesome experience! super informative and entertaining. the staff was so kind and the wrestlers were awesome and so funny. would definitely recommend
