Full Description

Sumo is one of Japan’s oldest traditions, deeply rooted in the nation’s history. At Asakusa Sumo Club, experience this iconic sport up close while enjoying an authentic sumo-style meal in an intimate setting centered around a real sumo ring (dohyo).

Begin with a graceful traditional Japanese dance by geisha, followed by live sumo demonstrations, including warm-up exercises, classic techniques, and an explanation of sumo etiquette. The highlight is a best-of-three match performed by retired professional sumo wrestlers.

Guests may also have the chance to step into the ring and challenge a wrestler. Challenger spots are limited and selected by lottery if demand is high.

All seats provide excellent views, with optional upgrades for a closer experience:

  • Standard: Comfortable seating with clear views
  • VIP: Front-row seating near the action
  • VVIP: Premium central seats with the most immersive perspective

After the show, take home a souvenir gift bag and a framed photo with the sumo wrestlers and geisha.

Please note: This is an entertainment performance by retired wrestlers. For active sumo stable visits, other experiences are available in Tokyo.
If this show is fully booked, guests are welcome to visit our sister venue next door offering a luxury sumo show with deluxe Japanese cuisine.
