Tokyo Sumo Entertainment Show with Chicken Hot Pot and Geisha

Overview

Discover the world of sumo in the heart of Tokyo’s historic Asakusa district during this fun and interactive entertainment cultural show. Set in a unique venue built around a real sumo ring (dohyo), this experience gives you a close-up look at Japan’s national sport in a relaxed and easy-to-understand way. Watch retired sumo wrestlers perform traditional moves, training exercises, and sumo matches while a live host explains everything in both Japanese and English. You’ll learn about winning techniques, forbidden moves, and the meaning behind sumo’s traditions. The highlight for many guests is the chance to step into the ring and try a fun sumo challenge yourself. ※Spots are limited, and if many people want to join, participants will be chosen by lottery. While enjoying the show, savor all-you-can-eat chicken hot pot (Chanko-nabe) with a Japanese set meal and one free drink. At the end, take a photo with the sumo wrestlers and get a souvenir gift set to remember your experience.
