Review for: Tokyo: Sumo Wrestling Tournament A-Class Seats & ExpertGuide

I had a wonderful time. The sumo tournament was sensational and the atmosphere incredible. Our guide, Ms. Yuno Watanabe, gave us a lot of information about the rules of sumo and the history of this very unique sport, specific to Japan. I highly recommend this activity. Many thanks again to Ms. Watanabe. It was incredible.

We absolutely loved it! But we love it more because we had a fabulous guide named Yoko. From the moment we say her smiling to the end with goodbyes she was amazing, knowledgeable and so much fun. We are from the USA and had never been to a sumo tournament but by the end we both had a great understanding. Thank you Yoko for making this a fantastic experience!!

I had an amazing experience on the Sumo tournament tour in Japan! It was not only incredibly fun, but also very educational. Our guide, Noriko, was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything that was happening throughout the matches, which really helped me understand and appreciate the sport even more. She was also very friendly and entertaining, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I totally recommend this tour to anyone interested in Japanese culture or just looking for something unique and memorable to do!

Amazing experience! Even new fans of sumo will enjoy watching thanks to our guide, John. He took fun photos, helped us purchase food & souvenirs, and overall was a pleasure to be around. He asked about our preferences and made helpful suggestions on what to do and when. He explained things when we asked him and was never condescending in his attitude. Very friendly and open. It felt more like a friend showing us around than a standardized, rigid tour. The time absolutely flew by because we had so much fun. Finding the meeting spot might be tricky, but we arrived early to explore Sumida, and KLOOK told us where to meet John. Would book 100% again and not change a thing! 5/5 stars!

The grand sumo tournament was an amazing experience. We had Yuki as our guide and she was fantastic, very knowledgeable of the sport and answered all of our questions. It made the experience even more memorable to be able to be there with a true fan of the sport. Definitely would recommend this tour and Yuki as your guide! we would give her 10 stars if we could.

Our guide Noriko met us a few minutes early and was helpful from start to end. She urged us to grab drinks and snack as they were cheaper at the market than inside. She gave us a tour of the arena and showed us our seats. She advised what we should do and patiently answered all my sons questions. A wonderful experience and I highly recommend!
