Les activités, les personnes l’l’accueil rien à dire, je recommande fortement
This was an incredible experience! This activity is suitable for all genders, ages and fitness levels so don't be afraid to join in. The two men that run the program are kind and very knowledgeable. THIS SHOULD BE ON EVERYONE'S BUCKET LIST!!! One of the best activities I've ever booked when travelling.
Takeshi was awesome. We had a great time. My son wrestled for 5 years and wanted a sumo wrestling experience and this was the best. Would highly recommend to anyone.
This sumo outing was the HIGHLIGHT of our visit to Tokyo. Takeshi is a warm and easy-going host, making our introduction to sumo exciting, educational and fun. Our family of four learned the basic warm ups and meanings behind the sumo rituals. Then we had a chance to partake in a few matches in the ring with Takeshi and each other. It was a good workout and adaptable to each participant’s skill level. If you are looking for an interactive and immersive experience into one of Japan’s oldest and most revered sports, this is the activity for you!
Merci Denis Milfait Ce fut une expérience formidable, probablement l'une des meilleures que nous ayons vécues lors de notre voyage au Japon, et nous l'avons vraiment apprécié avec notre fille (13 ans) et notre neveu (18 ans). À l’origine, nous voulions seulement voir un combat de sumo quelque part, mais cette expérience a dépassé toutes nos attentes. Takeshi est un excellent entraîneur et nous étions totalement intéressés par la formation, il nous a expliqué les traditions et la manière de combattre le sumo et cela nous a totalement absorbé. Et à la fin, nous avons tous eu un vrai match, remarquez, nous affrontions un quintuple champion national japonais !
