Fun for the whole family, and as fun solo! - I was a solo goer! I unfortunately came 45 minutes late because of train delays, so I completely missed the geisha performance. However,even though I came late; it didn’t feel like that at all. I was completely enamoured by the sumo wrestlers and the English commentator who explained rules, tradition and more in fluent English. Time flew extremely quick as there was never a dull moment, whether it be laughs from the sumo wrestler theatrics, or awe from how strong they were even when they were playing. There was a segment where a few people are selected to challenge the sumo wrestlers to a dual, and I was one of the lucky 8! I tried my best but Asa-no-hide (the wrestler I was against), was a complete rock! I was stunned at how strong he was the entire time! This experience was one of my high points in Tokyo, and I’m glad to be a part of it!

A fantastic night for the whole family! - What a fantasic evening! Last time I came along, but this time I brough the family. The MC, Sumos and waitresses were all excellent. The show had just the right amount of informative facts, witty banter and sumo wrestling. The all you can eat food was filling and tasty, drinks kept flowing quickly and the show was great. I can highly recommend this to anyone visiting Tokyo! It's the type of thing you can attend solo, with friends or with the whole family.

Sumo fun show - A great way as a beginner to open your eyes to the world of sumo . Food was tasty delivered quickly and a nice selection . You get an additional 1 choice of drink and are welcome to buy additional drinks during the demonstrations . There is a lot of visitor interaction and crowd participation with a fun factor element, so it’s a family event rather that for serious sumo fans . The final audience participation was very funny. Everything seemed to enjoy the show.
