“This was SO FUN! We took our two little kids (age 1 & 2) and even they were entertained. We purchased their upgrade that included the snacks, t-shirts, and more and we felt like kings. The sumos even held our kids for some great pictures. You really do need to have someone in your group challenge the sumo, it makes for a great time! I also want to note that the staff is super friendly and they anticipate your every need. They took all the photos and videos I could want (since my arms were full holding kids while my husband challenged the sumo). I so appreciated their warmth and kindness. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Japan.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience. The mc was amazing and especially considering English wasn’t her first language she spoke like a native. The history of Sumo wrestling was very interesting and I have a new appreciation for this sports and the athletes. It was great fun getting to wrestle with the sumo wrestlers. The staff were also extremely welcoming and easy going so I would absolutely recommend this if you are in Osaka! Would love to do it again!”
“This was one of the most fun activities I did during my trip to Japan. The host was highly energetic and very entertaining at the same time took time to explain the culture of the Sumo. The most fun part was to participate in the training and challenging the Sumo wrestlers. The wrestlers were very sweet and entertaining as well. I would definitely recommend to try this out if you are in Osaka”

It was AWESOME! Absolutely recommended. The Team and the fighters were such lovely people and everything was so well planned. 10 out of 10 :)
A fun evening getting to understand some of the basics of this Japanese tradition. Always good to have a bunch of Aussies that will be happy to participate in the test matches.

Het is een mooie locatie. Aan het begin wordt de werking en geschiedenis van het sumoworstelen aan je uitgelegd. Je kan veel vragen stellen en het zelfs opnemen tegen de sumoworstelaars. Ik vond dit een onwijs leuke ervaring!

Amazing
This was a fantastic experience. The wrestlers were incredible and the opportunity to try it was so interactive and memorable. Thanks again!
increíble experiencia! es una visista obligada para entender 1500 años del deporte nacional de Japón. todos los chicos y chicas del estudio muy amables y proactivos, su energía es contagiosa y los peleadores de Sumo, mis respetos! pelean como los dioses pero de alguna maneraos dioses te ayudan para ganarles...
Staff was very accommodating and informative. Good activity for the kids and family! Would def recommend!
