This is a fun night out in Tokyo! The food was surprisingly good - fresh and tasty. The show was entertaining and all of the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They gave a bit of history of sumo and then the two sumo wrestlers did a demonstration. After the demo, they took several folks from the audience to face off against the wrestlers. Our teenage son went up there and said it was like trying to push a wall!

This was an awesome show! We were a group of 7 (including 2 kids) and we all had a great time! Lots of laughs and the sumo guys and all the staff were super friendly. We got there 10 min early and a lot of people were already seated so you can get there early.
One of the best things we did on our trip to Japan! Highly recommend going.
Hilda_E, Oct 2025
I highly recommend! It was just so fun and well done. It was professional, educational and extremely entertaining. I laughed so hard. Both of the wrestlers were charming and seem to enjoy what they do. The food was good. Loved the ice cream at the end. Drinks were well- priced. Bathrooms were spotless.

It is a great experience, well organized and fun. You get to meet the wrestlers and take pictures with them. Dinner is pretty good. Definitely something to consider when traveling to Tokyo.
Carol_B, Sep 2025
Great fun. Really interesting insight into the life of a wrestler, but also fun to try and wrestle them out the ring (children seemed to do better than the adults!). Would recommend for adults only and families as everyone can join in if they want to.

Informative and fun show. Good for families. Food was pretty good. The food boils in front of you on the table. Everyone has a good seat so you don’t need to worry about where you get seated. Lots of opportunity to participate and have a picture with the sumo wrestlers.

We had a fantastic night at the sumo dinner. When we arrived we recieved such a warm welcome. All the food was ready and prepared on the table where it was lit so each meal cooked in front of us. It was delicious and was accompanied by rice and a bowl of chicken soup. Lso had a pot of ice cream at the end. The sumo show was so entertaining and started with info on the history of sumo. Then they showed us what the wrestlers do to train. Then there was a contest between the 2 wrestlers, some audience participation, Q&A and then a photo opportunity for all groups. The wrestlers were so funny and made everyone laugh. It was such a great and memorable night. We got a metro to Morishita station. Then got an uber to the restaurant which was ony 1000 yen (about £5). Can't recommend this experience enough! My family loved it.

Dinner was good—fresh and fulfilling. The show was both fun and informative. We learned about the history of sumo and its techniques, enjoyed the three rounds of sumo match with recently retired sumo athletes, in addition to the different mini-demonstrations they have shared. The athletes and the hostess were patient with the full house and delivered a fun show for all ages. Thank you!
Laura_E, Aug 2025
Short program. Most of the time was bringing up guests to play sumo fight. Followed by every table taking pictures. The food was mediocre at best considering the price. We were the first to arrive and sat behind a table that blocked our view so we had to stand much of the time. The dessert was from grad school - vanilla cup that had a small plastic spoon. The program itself with the history was interesting.
Jennifer_M, Jul 2025
Educational, fun, light-hearted, delicious food, and hilarious! My husband and I found a new interest in sumo - highly recommend!
DavidSeth_K, Jul 2025
This hit all the notes. They had food ready (we are vegetarians and had. seat prepared for us with veggie friendly dinner) and the experience hit all we hoped. We learned much, saw a match, pictures with Sumo wrestlers and had questions answered. This is a well oiled machine and was excited to experience it!
Gary_G, Jul 2025
One of the best experiences! Loved it and I would highly recommend everyone to try it! I didn’t like the food much but it’s really about the Sumo experience and not the food.
Aaron_H, Jul 2025
Very welcoming place, very entertaining, the staff was very friendly. My kid loved watching the wrestlers in action and the cool part was when they asked the kids to wrestle them.
