The Sumo Hall Hirakuza Osaka is offering business event participants the opportunity to watch and interact with professional sumo wrestlers.
Custom-designed as a sumo entertainment hall, the facility presents Japan’s historic national sport through a contemporary show combining elements of video, light and sound. Performances are presented entirely in English twice daily (18.00 and 21.00), with seating for 180 pax.
The show duration is approximately 60 minutes and includes an opening act, an introduction to sumo, the main bout, an interactive sumo experience and a commemorative photo. Ticket prices range from ¥9,500 (US$67) to ¥16,000, and include a bento box and drink. Vegan or halal bento boxes are available for a ¥2,000 surcharge.
Alternatively, event organisers can opt for sumo wrestlers from the Sumo Hall to perform at their events, such as gala dinners and welcome receptions. Each experience would comprise displays of sumo culture, demonstrations, bouts, interactive experiences and commemorative photos from ¥500,000.
Sumo Hall Hirakuza Osaka is located at Namba Parks in central Osaka, about a 45-minute drive from Kansai International Airport.
