We absolutely loved the classic sumo show. Rio the MC was amazing and very educational. I even got to fight Morita, unfortunately he beat me. We highly recommend visiting "The Classic Sumo Show" — Live Bouts, Q&A with Wrestlers & Souvenir Photo · Shinjuku you won't be disappointed. 😊

Super fun experience. The setting is small and intimate which is great. The show itself is informative and very interactive. My sister was also picked from the crowed to match herself against a sumo, such a highlight!

Fantastic sumo experience! The Q&A was really interesting, and Theo was an amazing speaker with excellent English, making everything easy to understand and really enjoyable. The sumo wrestlers, Ide and George, were fantastic showmen and put on a great, entertaining performance. It was great getting to see sumo up close, and being able to have photos with them afterwards was a great way to finish the experience. The drinks were a nice bonus too. Highly recommend this experience if you want to see sumo up close and have a fun, entertaining time!
