It was amazing. To be satisfied it is necessary to know that it is sumo show. You get great lunch and retired top sumo wrestlers show you the rules of sumo, a match, fight with you. They are not only excellent wrestlers but excellent actors also. Highly recommended.

It was fantastic! You eat a lovely meal prepared by the sumo before getting a lesson about the history is sumo wrestling. The wrestlers for my day made the presentation fun for everybody and had the whole room laughing and engaged. At the end people can volunteer to go up and have their own match with a professional sumo
