I can't say how much fun we had as a family in a group of 12 friends and family members.
The sumo wrestling was pretty short to be honest. However it was 100% interactive you're even allowed to play wrestle with the sumo wrestlers which makes a great photo experience, anyone who wanted to participate was encouraged to do so and there was no rushing you could have 1 million pictures if you wanted. We paid a little bit over $100 but it was worth every single penny
I'll have to say this event is not truly in Osaka it is at the bottom tip of Osaka near the outlet malls so if you're coming from Kyoto it's a long journey almost 2 hours away
The other thing I didn't care for as an Asian person or as a foodie was that the food was terrible. This is simply my opinion as five of my friends were vegetarians and they loved the food.
Please don't get me wrong because the sumo experience itself and the sumo wrestlers, games, and the activities totally made up for any kind of shortcoming so I would say just plan to have a meal or bring a light snack before you go in and you'll be fine.
Booking here on Viator I was not able to skip the meals I know other booking websites allowed you to pay for a meal or skip the meal I would say skip the meal it is pretty much watered down soup.
Again, the sumo experience interactiveness games and photo ops is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you have to do it. My kids actually said it was the most favorite thing to do in Japan

It was absolutely fantastic. The introduction to sumo was really interesting and they provide you with lots of information on the background and rules of sumo.
Then there is the show which is really exciting and they get the audience involved as well.
Its so much fun, I would highly recommend
