What an amazing experience!! The host was great, the food was very good and the sumo show was fun and excellent overall. I recommend this highly for families and if you get the chance to take on the sumo giants you'll love the show even more. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
We had an amazing time with our driver, Vitor. He was so welcoming and friendly towards our group. He drove us through the city and was very accommodating to us. He made sure we were having a good time and comfortable the entire time. I HIGHLY recommend him and this activity to anyone!!
This was amazing !! So much fun. They teach you the rules and go through everything that is involved in sumo wrestling. Great food, good laughs !! Even had the chance to wrestle a sumo wrestler myself. one of the highlights of the trip.
Traveling to Japan every year, and this sumo experience was undoubtedly the highlight of the trip. The entire event was both educational and highly entertaining, full of humor and joy—it had the kids laughing from start to finish! 😂 The geisha performance was also fantastic. It’s wonderful to see such a well-preserved cultural tradition. Highly recommended! Can't go wrong with this.
Without a doubt a highlight of our trip for us adults and our kids was this experience. it was educational and entertaining from the second we entered the venue. We were upgraded to the best seats directly in front which was an added bonus to the incredible experience and we would highly recommend this experience to families!!
There aren’t enough words that can express how fun this experience was! My partner really wanted to go to a sumo “show”, but I feel like this was an elevated experience. Doors opened 15 minutes before showtime, which allowed us to choose our seats and settle in. Food was served quickly after being seated, and the process to order unlimited food was easy using their QR code system. Food was excellent and chosen as the primary way that sumos fuel their bodies for training. First drink was freee, but they charged for any drinks after that. The host spoke English and Japanese, and did a wonderful job of keeping the night flowing. The geisha performed beautifully, and then the sumo wrestlers kept the energy up all night! Audiebce members got to battle against the sumos (only 8 total), and the night ended with each group being able to take photos with the performers and a goody bag full of souvenirs to take home. Would easily book this experience each time we visit Japan!
It was my first time in Japan, and of course, I couldn’t leave without seeing sumo wrestlers. Unfortunately, I missed the official tournament and couldn’t get tickets, so I went for the Asakusa Sumo Club experience instead — and, it turned out to be one of the highlights of my Tokyo trip. The whole evening was so well put together. The setup, the dinner (unlimited food and drinks!), the souvenirs — everything was thoughtfully done. The wrestlers themselves were brilliant — super entertaining, full of personality, and clearly loved what they were doing. There was even a geisha performance mid-show, which added such a beautiful touch to the experience. By the end, they invited a few volunteers from the audience to “fight” the wrestlers, and it was hilarious to watch. It’s easy to find too, right in Asakusa beside Don Quijote. If you’re travelling with family, especially kids, this is an absolute must. You’ll learn a bit, laugh a lot, and leave with great memories (and a full stomach).
The Sumo performance and Geisha style dance at the Asakusa Sumo Club, together with the all you can eat chicken chankonabe and various sides (that could be replenished via a very user friendly app.) were all very enjoyable. The mix of history and entertainment makes for a very enjoyable experience and the group photo keepsake was a great inclusion. Highly recommend going to this show.
The club was very organised, there was so much thoughtfulness and structure that went into giving us an enjoyable experience. Such a fun & insightful night! I highly recommend this activity, 100% worth it! I went 2 nights ago and am still amazed! Left the night with a souvenir bag provided by the club. The staff, dancer, wrestlers & host, Lala, were all so lovely!
Just book it! Our family of four all loved this show. it was a highlight out of two week trip to Japan. The food was delicious, the host Guy was entertaining and educated us well on the history of Sumo. The Sumo wrestlers were so funny and it was really interesting to watch them compete. Thanks so much for a great night that our family won’t forget.
