Reviews
Great way to experience sumo wrestling and Japanese culture!
Yuko, my tour guide, was actually excited about sumo wrestling and gave just enough information before we entered the stadium. Seats were great and the bouts were easily visible! The best part about this tour was how Yuko told us stories of each sumo wrestler between the bouts that really brought a lot of personality to the whole event. When the crowd cheered, I often knew why! The fun was in those details!
Thank you to Yuko for such an amazing tour! I highly suggest you give this a go if you're in Japan during the time this event runs!
