Ryogoku tours

Both guides were very knowledgeable and helpful sharing not only about Sumo but Tokyo in general. Watching practice was an amazing opportunity. The Takasago stable is very talented!

This was my first time joining a Klook one-day tour to famous Japanese attractions. The meeting time was neither too early nor too late, and the location was easy to find. However, on these tours, participants don't know each other, so I believe it would be fairest if the tour guide or your company assigned specific seats to each member in advance. On the day of our tour, we arrived 30 minutes early, checked in with the guide, and learned the tour bus hadn't arrived yet. Since there were so many people, we waited elsewhere, which unfortunately led to us boarding the bus very late and ending up almost at the back. As for the schedule, the time spent at each attraction was acceptable. The tour guide was very responsible, recommending popular must-try products and even planning a route for Shirakawa-go for our reference.

Tour was amazing, our guide Kana was super friendly and provided all the info in advance while on the way, so when you arrive you already know what to prioritize and have a map to go around easily. tour starts early but then, when you arrive, is not that crowded which is nice. Better to follow her recommendation and go to the observatory first, when I went after arrival was almost empty but one hour later it was super full and it continued like that the rest of the day. Lunch was great and nice opportunity to try a traditional lunch. Both places were honestly breathtaking and we were super lucky to have a super sunny day. Bus was also great and it honestly felt nice to not have to check 10 times the public info for transport to make sure I was going in the right direction :) . Overall I think the experience is definitely worth it if you are in the area!

GREAT TOUR! lead by tour guide that can converse in eng chinese and japanese! well versed. the tour journey was definitely worth it. bus ride was 4 hours to and fro. the views were scenic and we get to feed seagulls!

Very authentic experience in a real sumo stable. You enter the stable where the sumo master and the wrestlers live and train, and you’re able to see a real morning training. At the end of the training the master took time to answer our questions. Our guide Yoshimi was also very pleasant and explained us the basics of sumo.

Shirakawa-go and Takayama Tour is one of the best tours you can get in Nagoya. The tour consists of going to Takayama with some guided excursions. The orientation while inside the bus with the maps provided by the guide was enough for us to be well-guided with the best places to go in Takayama and Shirakawa-go. This tour provided observation deck access, which allowed us to take pictures and buy souvenirs. The tour in Takayama is one of the best tours we had since we were able to roam freely. In Shirakawa-go, we were also able to roam freely.

Very well paced tour with ample time to explore each area. Guide Lui Chang was very professional and she speaks 3 languages. This is not a guided tour. The guide will just explain what we can do in the area and the time we need to be back to the bus and we are off to explore the area on our own.

On June 6th, I joined a one-day tour led by Zuo Sha, with driver Xiao Lei Ge. We took a small bus directly to the observation deck, then to Shirakawa-go. Zuo Sha took us straight to photograph the three small houses and other beautiful spots. It was great that there were fewer tourists early in the morning! Afterward, we went to the Hida Takayama Old Town, and Zuo Sha introduced many local delicacies on the bus. Overall, it was a fantastic one-day tour, highly recommended!!

It was truly impressive to be able to see the sumo wrestlers training up close. Everything was perfectly organized via email, and at the end, you could even take a photo with two sumo wrestlers. Even though we had to get up very early to be there by 8:00 AM using the train/subway, it wasn't a problem thanks to the perfectly punctual public transportation.
