What to expect

Sumo is Japan’s national sport. A sumo tournament called “Honbasho (Main match)” is held six times a year. One of these events is held in Tokyo every September. The matches on the dohyo ring are very impressive. The sound of the Sumo wrestlers’ bodies colliding echoes throughout the hall. The rules of sumo are very simple: the person who steps outside the circle or whose part other than their feet touches the floor loses. This tour includes an English-speaking guide support during the Sumo tournament viewing. It is much more interesting to watch the Sumo tournament if you understand the rule, techniques, and any information in English instead of Japanese.

such an amazing experience. if you have the privilege please take advantage. many people don’t get to experience or a chance. the energy was great and the fans amazing! our guide was so amazing and answered all of our questions, and explained the history. if she didn’t know the answer she will stop what she was doing and find the answer for us.

We were heartbroken to have not gotten Grand Sumo tournament tickets from another broker, so we were thrilled to discover this option on Klook! The guide was punctual and so friendly. This ticket included entry to the Japanese sword museum and then entry to the tournament, a bucketlist event for my group! We will definitely return!

Review for: A-class Chair Seating (Mon, May 11)

The sumo tournament was great, good seats (A seats) , fun atmosphere. However, the guide did not provide any additional value. We figured out the rituals, rules, and order of the matches by googling and reading the English program. it was not good use of our time to have to meet 1 hour before entering the arena to wander around the Japanese Garden in our own; only to meet up again to enter as a group 1 hour later. Perhaps if the guide used that time to provide us with some background info on sumo; it would have enriched the experience. If we had the choice, we would only attend the later matches (starting at 3:30pm) rather than meet the guide at 12:30 to maximize our time in Tokyo.
