Unforgettable cultural experience - Yoko had an infectious energy and enthusiasm for all things sumo. She was really thoughtful on how to introduce the sport to total newbies, so we can follow along in the drama. She's also great with young kids. When mine had a meltdown, she spelled out his name in Japanese with stickers. That was enough to bring a smile to his face!

Sumo convert - I started off thinking of sumo with curious amusement and ended up respecting, no, revering this artform. Truly wonderful afternoon and our guide Yoko was 10/10, her affection and love for Sumo was contagious. We went on Day 6 and watched the highlights everyday for the rest of the Tournament and future tournaments are penciled in! My youngest loves OHO and therefore, so do I 💕💕💕

Wonderful experience! - My sister and I booked a tour to see a sumo practice while on vacation in Japan and we had an incredible time. Our tour guide, Kiki, was a knowledgeable host and was extremely helpful in understanding sumo! I would recommend this tour and Kiki to anybody looking to learn more about the sport and culture!

10/10 recommend - Brilliant time. Super easy, organised and informative. We had Oku and he was amazing. Explained what we needed to know and timed it well during the fights so you could enjoy and learn at the same time.

Great selfie game experience - The first time I was on site to watch the Samoa event, it was very shocking to see the fierce collision of the Rich on the ground! In the course of the tour, Seiji will also explain the situation and situation on the field, the details of the Somo rules, and the background story of all the Rickers, there is a lover of Somo sports and a guide of Rickers like several Jeans really add a lot to this activity! Great experience!

Grand sumo competition experience - It was great to experience a grand sumo competition from elevated seats and be part of the crowd. Our guide Kiyomi was very good, explained how sumo and the competition run, took us to the sumo museum, sat with us and answered all our questions. The only negative is the cost ( much cheaper to buy tickets directly from the venue but they sell out quickly because tour companies buy them up!)
