Overall rating

(760 reviews)

The experience was great! The food was nice and the ordering link was easy to use, you get a great introduction into sumo wrestling and it is not a big group of people so you are able to see wherever you are sat. The sumo wrestlers were funny and got the group involved and you get to have a photo and free gift bag at the end, definitely value for money.

Going on the tour on the e-bikes was a fun way to explore different parts of Tokyo that my partner and I wouldn’t have considered and missed. It was an awesome experience and our guide Master Yota was very kind and informative during our tour. It was great way to spend our last day and finish up our holiday

Really fun evening. Food was alright and gifts were also okay. What made the night was the presenters and sumos, really hilarious lot and was great to experience a sumo match with a pro!

Got in some good walking and a lot of information. The guide, Dani (an Argentinian fella), really knew his stuff and was funny as well.

Amazing energy and highly entertaining performance from everybody. Highly recommended!
