Great fun show. Very interactive and entertaining. Not the traditional sumo but very informative and gave us a history of the sport. Highly recommended.
A very enjoyable way to learn about Sumo and the life of a sumo wrestler. Dai was a very good host and the sumo wrestlers put on a good display of their skills.
The wrestlers are amateurs so this is not an official match, but the experience was very fun, informative and entertaining. It's a small venue so every seat is a good one.
Not quite what we expected. Probably not worth $80 bucks. They tried to make it fun, but it seemed like a knock off of the real thing
Very fun show and experience, great for big groups of friends or families. Great way to learn about sumo wrestling and make it entertaining for everyone.
Loved this. As did all the family. A bit hard to find. A McDonalds is nearby if you arrive early and need a drink/toilet. The guide, Theo made the session very inclusive and humorous. He was a great MC. The wrestlers were very generous in their time. Q&As, a proper wrestle and them volunteered fights. A drink included. A great experience. I even watched some Suno on Japanese TV back at the hotel feeling like I understood things.
Such an engaging experience!! It was perfect - the history and art of sumo plus many interactive activities. We thoroughly enjoyed this!
This was such a fun and educational experience! We loved learning the history and techniques and the Q&A with the sumo wrestlers was cool. They had a great sense of humor and the MCs (John and Tom) were great! Would book again!
Had a great time - Dai was a fantastic host, both informative and funny. The wrestlers were entertaining and the audience had a blast.
Entertaining and educational! This is a great introduction into the sport of sumo. The hosts were great at getting the crowd to interact and the wrestlers at times offered some comedy. Small venue which was a perfect setting.
The MC was funny and knowledgeable about sumo. The sumo wrestlers themselves were very entertaining and quite skilled. It was a rowdy and informative event.
Great fun experience, Rio was an excellent MC and the Sumo’s were funny. I laughed so much I was crying when so of the audience had a turn.
Aito who mc’d the show was amazing, great knowledge of sumo history, very very entertaining show , recommend to everyond
Awesome time!! Small group setting, the crew was incredible and the wrestlers were just amazing. Worth your time.
This was so much fun! We were given an explanation of sumo. The two sumo wrestlers were very entertaining. I was lucky to be randomly chosen to wrestle with one of the sumo wrestlers - something I will never forget. There's opportunity for everyone to take pictures with the two wrestlers at the end.
A must do while you are in Tokyo. So entertaining and we learned so much about Sumo. We really enjoyed every minute of it .
This is a demonstration of Sumo which is very entertaining. You will see some training techniques and do's/ dont's. It is very entertaining with lots of good humour. Some people get a chance to have a go against the Sumo's which is lots of fum
It’s a nice experience to see and learn a bit abut sumo. They explain the basics and examples about the sport. Also you have the chance to ask questions to the Sumo guys
This was a fun introduction to Sumo. Our 13 year old loved it. We found it interesting to learn about the history and Sumo as a sport . Was good being able to ask questions.
It was great fun, but very touristic. Would still recommend as a introduction to a little piece of Japanese culture
It was a good experience and both my parter and I enjoyed it. Only thing I would say would be it’s quite expensive for what it is. Overall entertaining and worth checking out.
Interesting to watch , we learnt lots of things about sumo, it is a little touristy but still worth it!
We had a great time very very nice. We learned a lot about sumo and we had a great time. Our favorite sumo wrestler was hangi. Had a great beer then it was very entertaining.
Have a great bear we would come back again and let the family know. We had a great experience here.
Show was amazing learned so much and my son got to wrestle a sumo wrestler, such an amazing experience will never forget .
An absolute blast. Theo and KG were great hosts and dove in to the history of sumo. Such a unique experience, and if you get the chance, try for the lottery to experience it yourself. 10/10, I loved it
Definitely recommend going along to this show! We learned a lot about the history of sumo and the sumo wrestlers routines / lives while they train to become the elite. The sumo wrestlers kept us laughing while also showing off some real moves and strategies. We weren’t brave enough to “challenge” a sumo at the end of the evening but it was funny to watch those who did!
Quick history of sumo presented in a humorous way plus Q&A opportunity was really good. Sumo wrestlers have terrific crowd appeal. Very entertaining evening —glad we took the time!
My family had a great time at the show . It was organized and entertaining. Daughter was chosen to participate.
Team Hagi
Very fun and authentic experience. Our host Joe was great and very knowledgeable and welcoming to guests. This is a 1.5 hour experience so very easy to fit in. The location was easy to find. They have food and drink available for purchase as well. You will get to take pictures with the wrestlers afterwards.
Great. It is short, informative and fun. Not super immersive which was good for with kids. Fairly westernized and everything in English
