Tokyo Sumo Tournament: Guided Experience with Assigned Seat & Ticket

Definitely a great way to get tickets to the tournament- we had a great time walking around ahead of time and learning about the area. Caesar was a great guide! Very knowledgeable and helpful.

After lining up at 7am at the sumo stadium to try and buy tickets to the sold out tournament, we decided to get them via Klook L, knowing we’d pay a premium. The tour was backed out to Amigo Tours and we had Lilly as our tour guide. Lilly was awesome at explaining some of the history of Sumo and made the tour really enjoyable. Her energy and passion for the sport and her love of Japan was contagious. The Sumo tournament experience itself was fantastic. Knowing very little about the sport leading up to the event, a mixture of Chat GPT questions and help from Lilly soon filled a lot of gaps and made me appreciate the sport and the ritual so much more. If your’re in Japan when one of the six annual Grand Sumo tournaments are held, I highly recommend going along if you can. The atmosphere in the stadium, especially for the later bouts, was electric. 5 stars for Lilly and 5 stars for Sumo

While it was a bit pricier than just getting a normal ticket, the fact that it was sold out and we were able still go was amazing. The tour guide was incredibly friendly and passionate about the sport, which made the whole experience even richer. Would highly recommend amigo tours for your sumo exsperience. 10/10

Very satisfied! Punctual, informative and fun!

I would like to express my gratitude for the incredible experience provided during the tour. Everything was handled with great attention, professionalism, and care for details, which made the moment even more special and enriching. The way history, culture, and interesting facts were presented made all the difference in the experience. It was a memorable, pleasant, and very well-organized day. My sincere thanks for your dedication and kindness throughout the entire journey. It will certainly be a memory I will cherish for a long time.

Firstly I’d like to say that the actual Sumo tournament was amazing and I’d highly recommend going. The reason for two stars is as follows: 1. We met the tour guide at 1pm when the tournament actually started in the morning. The tour guide mentioned various times that nothing exciting happens until 4/5pm at the tournament but we felt like we missed out on the full experience. 2. The tour guide was no where to be seen when we actually went inside, despite saying he would be around to explain things. 3. Buying tickets to the tournament ourselves was nearly impossible as they sell out within seconds of becoming available so it’s surprising that an agency like this can get dozens of tickets and then charge 4x the price per ticket. 4. The tour guide explained that he could take us to view places but couldn’t come in as he’d get kicked out for being a tour guide - highlighting that what they are working in the grey. I’d definitely recommend doing this activity but keep the above in mind.

Overall good experience after all the faffing about at the start. The actual tickets cost £25 and we paid £105, but off a rip-off tbh but we got to see sumo live.

George our tour guide was very friendly and made sure we understood everything about Sumo before the show. Very talkative and will take it slow if you need to.

Amazing experience, do not miss!!!

loved our experience watching a real Sumo tournament. We felt very lucky to have the opportunity. The guide Miki was extremely knowledgeable and gave knowledge on all the sumo competitors and the actual matches themselves. She is there if you want to know but also leaves you to enjoy your own time on the night . it was so good, you can also get food at the venue. A great experience.
