Full description

Sumo is as old if not older than Japan itself. At the Asakusa Sumo Club we will take you on a deep frive through history and how sumo has evolved throughout the millennia, while you enjoy an authentic sumo style meal in an intimate setting.

Watch demonstrations of the morning exercises (asa geiko), somo of the techniques (kimarite) and the do’s and don’t’s of sumo wrestling before a best of 3 competition(tachiai)of real sumo between our wrestlers, who are retired from competition.

Experience Sumo firsthand by challenging our wrestlers to a sumo match in the ring.
(Limited to 8 people per show). If there are too many applicants, challengers will be decided by lottery.

Intimate view of the Dohyo from all seats. To really feel connected to the action please upgrade to our front row seating.

Take home a gift bag of souvenirs as well as a framed photo of you and your group with the wrestlers and geisha.

Before the sumo show, guests can also enjoy Japanese dance performed by geisha in beautiful kimonos.

ATTENTION- This is a show by retired wrestlers for entertainment purposes. If you prefer a look into how a modern sumo beya is run you can find that elsewhere in Tokyo.

Includes

  • Bilingual commentary by a moderator
  • Serious matches between former sumo wrestlers
  • Sumo experience for those who wish to participate (not possible for everyone to take part if there is a high level of interest)
