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.

This sumo show was clearly an highlight of my trip to Japan. We learned interesting facts about Sumo training and life habits. The act was very well balanced between demonstration of techniques and fighting. The fact that the crowd gets to challenge the sumo wrestlers also helps to show the actual strenght of the fighters and clearly created epic pictures!! A must do!

The vibe was awesome. The MCs were very energetic. There was the background behind Sumo wrestling, they provided techniques on how to win, there was wrestling by two sumo wrestlers and the crowd got to participate as well.
