This was seriously so much fun! The dinner was delicious and the show will be a core Kyoto memory! Would recommend
Emily_C, Mar 2026
A fantastic show, hugely entertaining and enjoyable. The ex Sumo wrestlers were brilliant. They demonstrated the main rules with humour and then were incredible when they had a best of 3 match. We loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn a bit about sumo in an easy, enjoyable way. We also enjoyed the unlimited food and drinks, along with the Geisha dance.

Fun activity to learn not only about Sumo but a little Geisha thrown in. Entertaining for the whole family. The fool was surprisingly good. All you can eat and drink. Order from table by QR code.

A great show for the entire family. It is worth every penny spent. Food options were good and the unlimited drinks a bonus. This is by far the best experience we have had in Japan!

Exceeded expectations on every level. The hospitality, the food, the drinks, the host, the sumo wrestlers, the staff, the tutorial, the practice… everything was top-notch. Don’t bother with any other sumo place - this one treats you like a VIP and you eat while learning, watching, and ultimately participating!
