Reviews
AO and SUKE’s performance was fantastic! Our host was absolutely amazing—fun, energetic, and engaging throughout the entire experience. We learned a lot about sumo wrestling and even had the chance to experience it firsthand in the ring, which made it truly memorable. Such a unique and enjoyable experience in Japan. Would definitely recommend it!
Nice Sumo experience! Fun and interesting insights in the sumo world. When arriving at the site be aware you need to go downstairs on the side of the buildings for the sumo arena.
Interacting with the sumo wrestlers and even getting on stage to spar with them was a lot of fun. Drinks were provided during the experience, and I would definitely recommend it to friends 👍🏽
Hey, it was really a lot of fun and both of us got to challenge the sumo wrestlers. It's definitely a show rather than a real match, but they really make it a lot of fun.
Great location and excellent show wrestlers were huge and a very entertaining MC
