Very entertaining show! MC also speaks English so good. The sumo players teach us the rules the tradition etc. we also can join to defeat sumo players. Haha but the menu is so so…
Food was great!! The show is one of the best shows I’ve seen, and this is my 8th time in Japan
The Sumo Show experience here was really informative, entertaining, engaging and interactive with a program that explains and demonstrates the world of sumo perfectly. The food quality and service is exceptional and it caters for all ages. Highly recommended - Arigatou!!
SO MUCH FUN!!! Is it for tourists ? YES is the food good? Incredibly Family friendly? 💯 This is highly recommended as something fun to do. Yes, it’s a little bit cheesy but that’s what makes it great. 👍
Atmosphere: the show itself is such a FUNtastic entertainment. They deliver a traditional sumo craft in interactive and spectacular way. Food: a great variety of Japanese cuisine. Beautiful arrangement without pompous details, but taste is good. They have also a small shop with stuff related to sumo theme and a comfy bar area. Overall: if you don't know what sumo is like it's a great place to begin with
Ethan and his friend were very knowledgeable and friendly and we were in a fun and interesting group. The sumo itself was fun and interesting. definitely worth it!
It was an amazing experience! Especially our guide Gorge was both entertaining, informative and knowledgable on the Sumo!
We are so glad we decided to book this tour so that we could see the Tokyo sumo tournament. It was a unique, fascinating, enjoyable and exciting experience, the view from our seats was terrific and our guide Micky /Miki made the whole afternoon so much better than if we had been able to book directly, and looked after us brilliantly and attentively from beginning to end. The side tours to Ekoin temple and the beautiful garden near the sumo arena were an unexpected bonus. The instructions and notifications were also very good. We would thoroughly recommend this to others.
My tourguide George was so kind and funny… he solved all our doubts about sumo and made us enjoy the experience. Excellent tour!!
Our guide was amazing, very knowledgeable about the sumo, and Japan’s history and culture in general. The actual tournament was great! Our seats were at the good position, we could clearly see the fights and soak in the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone with a slightest interest in the sumo sport.
