Amazing experience. You are able to watch this super close and learn about their history & culture. Highly recommend.
our host Alisa was very kind, the training was interesting to watch, but note that seating is on cushions on the floor so the view is a bit restricted and if you are not used to sitting on the floor it can be uncomfortable after over an hour
our tour guide alison was punctual and friendly, we had a great experience and the sumo stable was clean and nice
