Reviews
This was such a fun, interactive experience for my family. I would suggest arriving early because we did get a little lost but thankfully didn’t miss much. Be sure to go to Ginza INZ and then you will find it or ask the locals. The host was so amazing as well as the sumo wrestlers. One of our sons were chosen to be a volunteer sumo wrestler. We learned so much about the sport and would definitely go back again. The light snacks were also good and cost effective. Such a wonderful experience.
Our family of 4 had a great time! Learned a lot about the sumo culture. The MC was wonderful and funny. We were able to understand the MC as he was a foreigner and spoke perfect English. There was audience participation. Free gift. Highly recommend.
Amazing experience. My family and I had so much fun. The staff were lovely and friendly and the food was so good! It’s a very interactive show so there’s no time to be shy here lol get involved to get the most out of the experience. Sumo wrestlers were awesome!! highly recommend
It was a very fun experience getting to learn the different aspects of sumo wrestling. There were many chances to participate in the activities and immerse in the show.
Fun and interactive activity that’s good for the whole family. Entertaining and educational. Good place to start learning about Sumo for the uninitiated.
This experience can be broken down into two parts: getting the tickets and the Sumo tournament itself. Both were excellent. Communication with our guide was smooth and easy. Ken delivered the tickets as promised and included tips and links to help us better understand the experience. The tournament itself is a little hard to describe in adequate detail. We loved the pageantry, ceremony and the "feel" of being in the arena. The wrestling component itself is a little lost on us as newcomers, but that' totally okay. If we want to dive into it more, we can watch the recap on NHK and learn about the individual moves and the wrestlers. We had a total blast, it was worth every penny to us and Ken provided everything promised and more.

this is surprisingly good! i never expected that we would truly enjoy this. the place looked good and the program was entertaining. the staff were very friendly and they were very generous in taking videos and photos of everything. this is a very memorable experience for me. location was easy to find, the mall where the place is connected to the subway.
we both had an amazing time at the sumo show it became one of the highlights of our trip. We were offered a free drink on arrival and the price for extra food and drink was very reasonable. the actual show was so funny and the host was great at setting the atmosphere and vibe for the show. the wrestlers were very funny and great at what they do. they interacted with the crowd and it felt very immersive. it amazing to get involved in the stretches and salt throwing and the highlight was getting the opportunity to fight a sumo wrestler. overall the experience was amazing and we 100% reccomend booking ☺️☺️
My husband and I just witnessed our very first sumo event, and it was everything we’d hoped for and more – we’ve been wanting to see live sumo since we put it on our Japan travel bucket list, and it did not disappoint!
