Tokyo: Sumo Show Experience with Chicken Hot Pot and a Photo

About this experience

Sumo is as old — if not older — than Japan itself. At the Asakusa Sumo Club, we’ll take you on a deep dive into the rich history of sumo and how it has evolved over the millennia — all while you savor an authentic sumo-style meal in an intimate setting. At the center of the restaurant sits a real sumo ring (dohyo), creating a truly immersive and authentic atmosphere. Watch live demonstrations of morning exercises, learn classic sumo techniques, and discover the essential do’s and don’ts of sumo wrestling. Then, enjoy a best-of-three match between retired professional sumo wrestlers. At the beginning, delight in a traditional Japanese dance performed by geisha in elegant kimono, setting the tone before the sumo show begins. Guests can experience sumo firsthand by stepping into the ring and challenging one of our sumo wrestlers. ※Challenger spots are limited per show. If there are too many applicants, participants will be selected by lottery. All seats offer an intimate view of the sumo ring, but for the closest experience, we recommend upgrading to front-row VIP seating. Seating Options: We offer three types of seating for your comfort and enjoyment: • Standard – Comfortable seating with a clear view of the ring • VIP – Front-row seats for an up-close view of the action • VVIP – Premium central seats with the most immersive and unobstructed view of the dohyo After the show, take home a souvenir gift bag and a framed photo with the sumo wrestlers and geisha — a perfect memory of your sumo experience. ※Please note: This is an entertainment show performed by retired sumo wrestlers. If you're looking for a behind-the-scenes glimpse into an active sumo stable, other experiences are available in Tokyo. ※If we are fully booked and have no available seats, please visit our sister establishment next door, the high-class sumo show. ーTokyo:Luxury Sumo Show Experience & Deluxe Japanese cuisineー
