★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Exciting, funny and insightful introduction to sumo
415emilijak, October 2026
It was a great introduction to sumo, with clear and interesting explanations, presented by an amazing MC! What makes this show truly special is that there are plenty of opportunities to participate and engage with the ex-professional rikishi, who are very personable, friendly and funny. The show takes about an hour, with time for photos with the rikishi at the end. I definitely recommend this exciting experience to anyone even a little interested in sumo!
