Watch a sumo show up close
at Asakusa Sumo Club Annex

Asakusa Sumo Club Annex is a cozy, private branch of Asakusa Sumo Club. An actual sumo ring is set up in the center of the restaurant, and live commentary in English and Japanese explains the history, rules, rituals and traditions of sumo. The experience lasts about 2 hours.

Begin with a geisha dance performance

The experience begins with a Japanese dance performed by a geisha on stage. After the performance, take photos with the geisha, followed by an introduction to the history and culture of sumo.

Enjoy wagyu sukiyaki and chanko nabe during the show

During the show, enjoy a sukiyaki bento made with Japanese wagyu beef, chanko nabe and a matcha dessert. Drinks include Japanese whisky, draft beer and soft drinks.

There are three seat types. Standard (table seats) includes a sukiyaki meal with chanko nabe and 1 drink, and Business (sofa seats) includes sukiyaki, tempura, chanko nabe and unlimited drinks. First Class (front-row sofa seats) is closest to the ring and adds unlimited drinks including premium Japanese whisky such as Yamazaki, plus a souvenir set with a happi coat.

Step into the ring for a sumo challenge

Retired sumo wrestlers show real training techniques and dynamic bouts up close. Guests who wish can step into the ring and challenge a wrestler to a friendly sumo match. After the show, you receive a printed commemorative photo with the wrestlers and a souvenir based on your seat class.

※ The number of challengers is limited for each show, and participants are chosen by lottery if many guests wish to join.
※ This is an entertainment show performed by retired sumo wrestlers and is different from early-morning visits to watch active wrestlers train.
※ Souvenirs may vary by season.
