Reviews
This was such a cool experience! I definitely recommend for a beginner experience of summo with a view of Mt Fuji! Best to go when the weather is nice and not too hot to get a good view and not be too warm but they had coverings/indoor accommodations so you can also do with not so good weather. I will say I believe the address takes you down the street from the location so I would suggest putting a photo up of what the outside of the building should look like. Other than that all the staff was amazing and were more than happy to take pictures and videos for you! We were able to take photos with the summo wrestlers and even volunteer to wrestle them! I definitely recommend! 10 out if 10! 🤼🗻
With the beautiful Mount Fuji in the background, a sumo ring was set up, and a sumo show began with the sounds of shakuhachi and shamisen music. The powerful bouts by the sumo wrestlers were truly impressive. We also had the chance to experience the salt-throwing and shiko (leg stomping) with everyone, and learning about the sumo rituals was very educational. Additionally, we had a fun time taking commemorative photos together. If I have another opportunity, I would love to go again with my friends and grandchildren.
So much fun!! The staff was welcoming, sociable, and warm. We had the chance to learn and practice sumo techniques. The show was simply magnificent and energetic! Thank you!
What a beautiful show. The staff was so friendly and helpful, they took photos and videos of us. Our two children got a bag of snacks upon arrival. We loved the traditional music at the beginning and the explanation of the sumo moves. We highly recommend this experience.
Truly a must-do for a family outing! I never leave reviews, but I found this such a special experience that I'm making an exception. My 6-year-old son thought the sumo experience was one of the best outings in Japan. The show started with beautiful music. My son received a snack and the option to wear an inflatable sumo suit (which, of course, he wanted to do). This was followed by a wonderful explanation about Fuji and the sumo rules, then a fantastic, exciting match! It was very impressive to see this in such a beautiful location. The sumo challenge was amazing. Thank you all for this fantastic outing. I 100% recommend this experience to everyone!
Such a great experience. My family and I really enjoyed ourselves. everybody was so accommodating and warm. We thank everyone. We had a personalized experience and seven got to wrestle with the sumo wrestlers. I would definitely recommend this experience for anyone. We travelled all the way from New York City and I would do it again!
This is a "must try" experience when you visit Mt. Fuji! I'm glad I booked it here rather than in tokyo. My family really had fun watching the traditional sports. The staffs were so accommodating and polite. Although, it would be better if the show was done in its original location at the rooftop, where Mt Fuji is on the backdrop, but due to the bad weather, it was done indoor and Fujisan is not visible. Nonetheless, it was worth the money and the experience is truly remarkable! 5 star! ⭐👌👌👌
As a travel agency owner in Tokyo specializing in inbound tourism, I am always seeking authentic and memorable experiences. Among these, the FUJI SUMO Show & Experience is one cultural activity I can confidently recommend. This program, known as "Sumo Experience Japan," is truly excellent. It combines powerful live performances with clear explanations and interactive elements, allowing international travelers to thoroughly enjoy and understand traditional Japanese culture. It also holds significant value as a "Japanese Cultural Experience Fuji" in the Mount Fuji area, making it particularly recommended for those seeking hands-on Japanese activities. From a practical standpoint, it's highly compatible with group tours, especially during peak seasons like cherry blossom viewing, providing a reliable option for large groups. Furthermore, it's frequently recommended by nearby hotels, which speaks volumes about its trustworthiness and high reputation. What personally impressed me was their ability to flexibly accommodate even my most challenging requests. Their readiness to handle last-minute adjustments and detailed requests made me feel confident in recommending it to my clients. From a travel agency perspective, their English support and well-established operational system are major strengths, allowing us to confidently propose this experience to travelers of any nationality. It's a highly appealing program for tourists looking for a quintessential Japanese experience.
The view was very nice and you could see Mount Fuji while the show was on. Before the fight you will also get to listen to traditional music.
Best Show in Fuji! This was very interactive. My kids were nervous when they walked in, but the performers quickly made them feel more comfortable! The staff are friendly and so accommodating. We will be doing this again if we come back!
