Highlights
Enjoy sumo casually in Asakusa, at the very heart of Tokyo! Feast on a sumo wrestler chanko meal, watch a sumo performance, and try your luck at fighting against former wrestlers!
Dine like a wrestler: enjoy chanko-nabe, inari sushi, and fried chicken prepared with an original recipe by a former sumo wrestler himself. Vegan and vegetarian options are available upon request.
Watch a traditional Japanese dance performance while you enjoy food and drinks, then see the thrilling movements of two former wrestlers in action.
Unique opportunity to interact with wrestlers, and, if you’d like, dress up in a funny sumo suit or a real mawashi loincloth and try your hand at fighting them!
Experience Details
Home to Tokyo's oldest temple (Senso-ji), Asakusa offers plenty of attractions and activities, including a unique restaurant: Asakusa Sumo Beya. Here, you can see a sumo bout, enjoy a traditional Japanese dance performance, eat a sumo wrestler's meal, and, if you're lucky — and brave — even challenge yourself to fight against a sumo wrestler!
You’ll first watch a Japanese dance performance while enjoying food and drinks. Your meal will be prepared by a former sumo wrestler himself, following an original recipe. Consisting of a chanko nabe stew with jidori chicken, bonito, kelp, and shiitake mushrooms, and a side dish of fried chicken and inari sushi, this is the kind of meal a real wrestler would eat, packed with protein and nutrients to help build strength.
Then, the sumo show will start. Two former rikishi wrestlers will step onto the dohyo in the center of the restaurant and engage in a thrilling bout. Once the show is over, there will be time to interact with the wrestlers as they challenge guests with a show of hands to fight them. If you are chosen to participate, you can dress in a funny sumo suit or an actual mawashi loincloth and challenge yourself to wrestle with them. Wrap up with a group photo, and take home a unique souvenir to remember this day.
Don't miss out on this chance to become a sumo wrestler for a day in Asakusa, right in the heart of Tokyo!
