Reviews
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..
Fantastic show from start to finish. Well organised and good family entertainment. The snacks and drink are also a added bonus. You get to participate also, which makes it so much more fun
A joyful evening! The show was lasted around 1 hour. A drink and snack were provided to each audience. The staff and Rikishi were all very considerate, passionate and friendly. The program gave the audience a simple introduction to sumo history and rules, featured sumo performances, and even offered the opportunity to interact with the Rikishi. It was surprised that they escorted each participant to the exit when the show finished. It was really a wonderful and amazing experience!
The show was exquisite, super entertaining and personal because the venue only accommodates for smaller crowds. The host initial demonstration of the key rules were insightful but entertaining.
An Unforgettable Experience – A Highlight of Our Trip! What an absolutely amazing experience! Definitely one of the highlights of our day in Osaka, with memories we’ll treasure forever. I’ve always loved sumo, but this experience gave me a whole new level of appreciation and respect for the sport. We learnt so much about its rich history, traditions and the deeper meaning behind sumo, all presented in such a fun, entertaining and interactive way. The kids had an absolute field day! There were so many moments of laughter, excitement and pure awe at the incredible strength and skill of the sumo wrestlers. Everyone was thoroughly engaged from start to finish, making it a fantastic experience for the whole family. The included drinks and yummy snacks were an added bonus! We walked away not only thoroughly entertained but also with a much deeper understanding and respect for the history and traditions of sumo. Such a special experience and one we’ll be talking about for years to come!
We loved this show. it was informative, funny and interesting. Such a great way to spend time in Osaka. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend 😊
An interesting experience. The emcee was great at getting the crowd going, and as long as you are willing to join in, they are happy to assist. Highly recommended.
The show was funny and entertaining. I definitely recommend this summo show! The staff were friendly and you can take photos with the wrestlers afterwards.
The show was great but its not worth the price tag. In itself the experience is good if you get a chance to fight the wrestler which was once in a lifetime experience. Staff was really polite and helpful.
fun and educational show about the sumo traditions, it did well to mix elements of humor and also gave us a chance to participate, also great for families and kids ! our show ran a bit late but nonetheless everyone was quite punctual to the rescheduled time and the show continued as usual. added plus are the snacks and drink they provide for you to enjoy while watching !
