Reviews
The overall highlight was the excellent tour guide, Michiko, who was so incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable about the sport.
I would highly recommended to anyone looking to attend, as this is one of those once in a lifetime experiences that you will never forget!
Easy directions were given along with a digital voucher. We found the tour really easily, with staff waiting outside the hotel to guide us in. Our tour guide was lovely and gave us a run-down on the history and current tournament of Sumo. The seats could have been a bit closer, but still a great view, and the atmosphere is amazing! Never knew I liked sumo as a sport but really really loved it.
