At Asakusa Sumo Club, enjoy a unique cultural entertainment show that combines live performances, delicious cuisine, and fun. A real sumo ring is set up in the center of the venue, providing an immersive experience within the restaurant.
The experience begins with an elegant Geisha dance, followed by an introduction to sumo rituals, rules, and training scenes. You can enjoy learning about Japan's national sport with bilingual explanations in Japanese and English.
Former sumo wrestlers will demonstrate traditional techniques and engage in a three-bout match to determine the "Champion of the Day." They will also provide fun and easy-to-understand explanations of winning techniques (Kimarite) and prohibited moves.
Afterward, you will have the chance to actually enter the ring and challenge the wrestlers! (Participation is limited, and if there are too many applicants, a lottery will be held.)
During the show, you can enjoy an all-you-can-eat Chanko-nabe (hot pot) and other Japanese dishes.
To conclude the experience, there will be a group photo session with the wrestlers and a souvenir set will be given to you. It's the perfect memento of your visit to Asakusa.
