Super fun experience. The setting is small and intimate which is great. The show itself is informative and very interactive. My sister was also picked from the crowed to match herself against a sumo, such a highlight!

Before the show, the audience was given some information about the sumo wrestling culture in Japan. We were taught about stereotypes, and it really broadened our view of the sport. They also offer a selection of complimentary nonalcoholic and alcoholic beverages. You can also order food upon imobile request from the menu in front of the seats, once you are seated. The staff and sumo wrestlers were funny and kind. Before the show, you're asked if you'd like to wrestle a sumo wrestler (for fun) and if your number gets called, you get to put on an inflatable suit and pretend fight them. Lastly, you are able to take pictures with the sumo wrestlers. Not to mention, postcards, shirts, stickers, etc. are available for purchase.

Fantastic sumo experience! The Q&A was really interesting, and Theo was an amazing speaker with excellent English, making everything easy to understand and really enjoyable. The sumo wrestlers, Ide and George, were fantastic showmen and put on a great, entertaining performance. It was great getting to see sumo up close, and being able to have photos with them afterwards was a great way to finish the experience. The drinks were a nice bonus too. Highly recommend this experience if you want to see sumo up close and have a fun, entertaining time!
