Things to do in THE SUMO HALL HIRAKUZA OSAKA

Went with my husband and we had a great time at the show! It was fun to learn some history of sumo wrestling along with the rules and techniques used. The wrestlers were very charismatic and fun to watch, and it was great to cheer for our favorites and then watch audience members challenge them. Overall a great experience in Osaka!

My second-grade son recently became interested in sumo, so we booked a sumo experience and visited. It was close to the station and easy to find. Mr. Ryu and Mr. Kai's demonstrations were excellent, and the explanation of sumo history was very informative. My son absolutely loved the chance to compete against the sumo wrestlers at the end! He was the only child among the participants, and they raised his hand as the champion at the end, which made him incredibly happy! :) There were many foreigners, so the explanations were given in fluent English. However, as a Korean who is more comfortable with Japanese than English, I thought it would be great if the historical explanations were also available in other languages, like Korean, or even just in Japanese! Anyway, we had a wonderful time, and it was a valuable experience that was well worth the money! :)

I did the 2 days Osaka Amazing Pass and it was worth it. I literally didn’t have to pay extra for attractions or metro because it was included. I didn’t have time to go to all the attractions but if I visit Osaka again I will buy it again. I like that the attractions and metro were all part of one thing so it was easy and accessible especially since it was my first time visiting. Also, you got discounts on some attractions such as Don Quijote Oval Ferris Wheel.

Universal Studios Japan is worth visiting. Rides are manageable good for kids and adults. However they are too strict for height requirements for kids. It’s totally okay not to get express pass as long as you plan what you ride. Zombie night is also super fun!😊

Visiting Universal Studios Japan this time and purchasing the Express Pass was truly worth it. Although it is not cheap, it significantly cuts down waiting times for popular attractions. Highly sought-after rides like Mario Kart and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey allowed for quick entry, saving a lot of energy and time. The park was very crowded that day, and without the Express Pass, some attractions would have required waiting for over an hour. It is especially convenient for travelers accompanied by elderly family members or young children, allowing more time for taking photos, shopping, and enjoying the park's atmosphere. The overall redemption process is simple—just show the QR Code at the entrance. Highly recommended for first-time visitors to Universal Studios or travelers with limited time.

It was an awesome show.. the organisers took good care of everyone. The experience of challenging the Sumo wrestlers was one of its kind .. had such a good time. it was worth every penny spent..

Kohei was great and the whole experience was awesome. I love my chopsticks and would highly recommend this to everyone.

Gardens are so beautiful! A great way to spend a relaxing day. The meal set was so good! There are things for people of all ages. Games and claw machines for kids and adults. You use your key to charge throughout the facility and checkout at the end. We would do it again!

one of the highlights of our trip for both kids and the adults - we had 7 kids and 6 adults and they were awesome! Our kids ages 5-9 had the best time and will have something to remember for ever! Really cool to have custom chopsticks with their names laser engraved. highly recommend for anyone in Osaka!
