Best thing we did in Tokyo!

Amber_w, Jun 2026

What an incredible experience in Tokyo. To be honest, this city was not my favorite because everything "to see" is so spread out and not as great as the pics online. So I packed our schedule with events and this one topped them all! It was interactive, interesting, and you get FED!! DINNER AND A SHOW YOU GET TO BE A PART OF! if you are questioning whether to do this or not, you will regret not getting in on this action!!

Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that our Complete Sumo Experience was the highlight of your time in Tokyo. We designed the experience to be much more than simply watching sumo — learning about its fascinating culture, enjoying a chanko nabe meal, and, most importantly, getting involved in the action yourself! Knowing that you found it interactive, interesting, and fun means a lot to us. Thank you for such an enthusiastic recommendation, and we hope the memories of your sumo experience stay with you for a long time!

Family Fun!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you and your boys had such a great time learning about sumo, enjoying the meal, and even getting into the ring with the wrestlers! It’s also great to hear that we could accommodate your food needs — and that the boys enjoyed it enough to ask for seconds! Thank you for choosing to spend part of your family trip with us. Aloha and Mahalo to you, too!

Intimate Fun Interactive Sumo Experience

Learning about the Sumo history, the food, the staff, the talent, the interaction with the guests all exceeded our expectations!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Love, love, love!!! This...

Love, love, love!!! This was so much fun...educational, entertaining and funny too. Fuji-San and the Rikishi were all great. Taught us about sumo, showed their athleticism and also made us laugh. And the chanko was so delicious. I ate two bowls and two bowls of rice too. And if you can, take the train/metro as the walk from the station to the beya is nice and thru a peaceful neighborhood and street. A break from craziness of Tokyo. What put it over the top fun was volunteering to challenge the sumo. They could take up to 10 volunteers ... DO IT don't be shy. It makes it the best time!!!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a fun and memorable time with Fuji-san and the rikishi. It’s especially great to know that you enjoyed not only learning about sumo and seeing the wrestlers’ athleticism, but also the humor and interaction that make the experience so special. We’re also very happy that you enjoyed the chanko—and two bowls of chanko plus two bowls of rice sounds like a true sumo-sized meal! Thank you as well for encouraging future guests to volunteer and challenge the wrestlers. Getting into the ring is definitely one of the best ways to make the experience unforgettable. We truly appreciate your enthusiastic recommendation and hope your sumo experience remains a wonderful memory of your time in Tokyo!

Good approach to sumo, with explanations of the technique of combat. Staff all friendly, excellent food. The two sumos make us participate later, good atmosphere with a lot of humor. We had a great time tonight.
