Sumo experience - 5 stars - Amazing experience! We were met at the train station by Charlie. We were early, but he was even earlier! We took a taxi (included in the price) to the Sumo stable in a quiet part of town. Upon entry you see the ring and watch some videos of examples of sumo. They do ask that you wear the included shirt and stable shorts to participate in the ring. The two wrestlers entered and it was quite serious and intense, but soon their personalities came out. It was very engaging and the wrestlers were excellent guides into the world of training and competing as a sumo wrestler. You wear the traditional sumo garb over your clothing. We were then treated to delicious meal and a question period with the retired sumo wrestlers. We were given a parting memento and then returned to the train station. We looked into many of the available sumo experiences and this seemed to be the only one that really allowed you to get into the action. The connection we felt to the sport by participating was fantastic and allowed us to see what high-performance athletes thees wrestlers were. This experience was a true highlight of our trip to Japan.

One of the highlights of our trip to Tokyo. - A great hands-on experience to learn about the practice and lifestyle of sumo wrestling! Charlie, our guide, was helpful, presented the sport very well, and welcomed all of our questions. Our family enjoyed participating and the lunch was delicious.

Sumo Experience - This was a great experience. The guide was wonderful and spoke excellent English and was very accommodating. Both of the wrestlers showed authentic practice and matches, and also allowed us to actually participate in some of the moves against them. We dressed in authentic sumo belts. There were excellent videos and visual presentations about the history of sumo wrestling.
