Overview

Discover sumo through an interactive and educational show led by former professional wrestlers. This experience focuses on learning and interaction, making it different from official professional sumo tournaments.

Enjoy a full cultural immersion: try on a traditional kimono and haori, watch live bouts with rituals and refined movements, and step into the dohyō for hands-on training, including a friendly one-on-one match with a rikishi.

Optional Chanko Nabe lets you taste the nutrient-rich soul food rikishi eat to fuel their training, recreated from the stables where our performers once trained. Additional Japanese snacks—such as karaage, yakitori, and takoyaki—are available, with gluten-free and vegetarian options at no extra charge.

Families are welcome, with children aged 7–12 at discounted prices from ¥3,000 and 6 and under participating for free. Young guests receive priority during the hands-on rikishi experience, creating an unforgettable memory for all ages.
