AMAZING Cultural and Sumo Experience!!! 100% Recommend. - This was 100% the BEST part of our trip! We came to Japan wanting to see Sumo wrestling and to learn about the Japanese culture and history in full detail. We got that and MORE with this tour. Ken was amazing! He was very friendly, kind and super funny. He is a Japan local so he knows everything you would want to know about the country and he speaks fluent English. We never felt rushed at any point of the tour and he answered all of our questions about the Sumo lifestyle, Japanese culture and overall life in Japan. He even took the time to recommend places to visit, eat at and experience. The tour was amazing but having Ken there definitely made it even more fun and memorable. We would 100% recommend taking a tour with our new friend, Ken.
