Excellent show! What an energy to the show!! and Theo was brilliant as the MC. Truly made the show come alive! I left with a lovely understanding of the Sumo culture. Also great thanks to Hiro and Koji for their humour and enthusiasm through the show!! and answering my questions!!
We had an excellent time at the Sumo show. Geppou and Toshi were incredibly entertaining sumo wrestlers. And Paula was a great emcee as well. Would definitely recommend this show if you have never watched Sumo before.
it was an excellent show. very entertaining and informative. Hiro and Yuma are good at what they do and also comedic. we are a 12 person grouo and we enjoyed the show. they ask you if you want to challege the sumo upon entry and you should just say yes. more chances of being raffle picked.
The show was educational and entertaining. location is convenient at Shinjuku. we enjoyed the experience thoroughly. recommend that you join in the fun experience too!
Absolutely fantastic! A highlight of our trip! We went as a family - 2 adults and 3 kids and it was wonderful. Jasmin was a brilliant host while Yuma and Hiro were FANTASTIC. 10/10 would absolutely visit again. Thanks again for having us.
