Sumo is as old if not older than Japan itself. At Asakusa Sumo Club, you'll embark on an enlightening journey through history, exploring how sumo has evolved over thousands of years. All this while savourin an authentic sumo-style meal in a cosy setting.

As a memento of your experience, you'll receive a gift bag of souvenirs and a framed photo of you and your group with the wrestlers and geisha. Before the sumo show, guests can also appreciate traditional Japanese dance performed by geisha in beautiful kimonos.
