Alisa was very kind and knowledgeable about the history and sport traditions of Sumo wrestling. Since our metro was on our way near the stadium, she accompanied us to give us information about. Super recommended!!!
it was so interesting watching the sumos wrestling with each other and watching them practice. there’s so much practice involved before they start wrestling
It was so fascinating to watch the training! loved the experience! we also got good spots in the second row, so could easily see everything. Definitely recommend to try.
it’s almost impossible to describe this cultural experience, getting the privilege to see these men in the ring was incredible. I learned so much about their culture and how hard they work to win the battles they have in the ring. Definitely would encourage anyone who is visiting Tokyo to hop on this opportunity to visit a stable.
I respect Japanese culture. Their training was sacred and powerful. Alisa always explained what was going on with her descriptive text so we could understand without getting bored. also able to take photos during the training so we could keep it as a memory, and best of all, she arranged for us to take photos with the wrestlers at the end. This was unexpected, and above all, this is the point where I can recommend Alisa's plan.
