What an incredible experience in Tokyo. To be honest, this city was not my favorite because everything "to see" is so spread out and not as great as the pics online. So I packed our schedule with events and this one topped them all! It was interactive, interesting, and you get FED!! DINNER AND A SHOW YOU GET TO BE A PART OF! if you are questioning whether to do this or not, you will regret not getting in on this action!!
Everything was AMAZING!!! Visited with my boys. They accomodated food needs and the boys wanting a second helping! We had so much fun learning about sumo amd getting in the dirt with the guys. Aloha and Mahalo!!!
Learning about the Sumo history, the food, the staff, the talent, the interaction with the guests all exceeded our expectations!
Love, love, love!!! This was so much fun...educational, entertaining and funny too. Fuji-San and the Rikishi were all great. Taught us about sumo, showed their athleticism and also made us laugh. And the chanko was so delicious. I ate two bowls and two bowls of rice too. And if you can, take the train/metro as the walk from the station to the beya is nice and thru a peaceful neighborhood and street. A break from craziness of Tokyo. What put it over the top fun was volunteering to challenge the sumo. They could take up to 10 volunteers ... DO IT don't be shy. It makes it the best time!!!
Good approach to sumo, with explanations of the technique of combat. Staff all friendly, excellent food. The two sumos make us participate later, good atmosphere with a lot of humor. We had a great time tonight.
Learnt a lot about sumo and wrestlers were very funny. Audience participation dragged on a bit but food was tasty
Definitely worth the investment. Entertaining, educational and the food was great too. Be sure to arrive early to get the best seat!
