Review for: [Discount] Live Sumo Tournament- Assigned Seats

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

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

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.

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.

The boys said this was a highlight of their Korea/japan trip so lucky to be in Tokyo when tournament was on. Seats for 2 were ok the 3rd although we paid for premium option was stuck behind tall guy and obstructed view.

The whole experience was really nice. Sumo is such an interesting culture to learn and our tour guide, Lily, made it even more fun to learn. I do think that the experience is a bit expensive. Nevertheless, it was a good experience and would probably do it again.

Awesome tour, Melody knew heaps and shared it really well. The sumo tournament was incredible and I feel like I wouldn't have got as much pleasure from it without the history etc that Melody was able to share. Would definitely recommend it.
