Highly recommended sumo experience - Awesome experience. It was really fun to be able to actually learn some basic sumo and actually “wrestle” with them! They were also really funny and the food was really good too!

Mind Opening Experience - It was such a mind-opening experience. Our tour guide was the sweetest and explained perfectly how Sumo came to be. Two real life Sumo wrestlers presented to us their work and a tournament was taken place. Everything was interactive and you can even wrestle yourself! Although Sumo looks intimidating they were surprisingly funny, very easy going and definitely kind. It covers all aspects of Sumo and would definitely recommend.

10/10 experience! - 10/10 experience - I’ve been to Japan over a dozen times and this was one of the best organized experiences I’ve ever done. The sumo wrestlers were funny, made you feel comfortable, and it was really interesting, interactive, and informative. Even for those not immediately interested in sumo, I would highly recommend this experience. Super worth it.

Learning how to be a sumo - Mihori was great. I wrestled with Kai and Rai. It was so much fun. I learned about the history of sumo and the cultural and religions beginnings. I wish I had learned about sumo earlier in my life because now I am stuck as an account manager when I really want to be a sumo wrestler.

Great fun - This was great fun. We were a group of 6 and we all took a turn at doing the practice moves and then got the chance to fight one of the sumo. There were two recently retired sumo who really made it enjoyable.
