Love, love, love!!! This... - Love, love, love!!! This was so much fun...educational, entertaining and funny too. Fuji-San and the Rikishi were all great. Taught us about sumo, showed their athleticism and also made us laugh.
And the chanko was so delicious. I ate two bowls and two bowls of rice too.
And if you can, take the train/metro as the walk from the station to the beya is nice and thru a peaceful neighborhood and street. A break from craziness of Tokyo.
What put it over the top fun was volunteering to challenge the sumo. They could take up to 10 volunteers ... DO IT don't be shy. It makes it the best time!!!

Great evening. - Good approach to sumo, with explanations of the technique of combat.
Staff all friendly, excellent food.
The two sumos make us participate later, good atmosphere with a lot of humor. We had a great time tonight.
