Reviews
I struck out on getting tickets through the sumo official website and through buysumotickets.com. The tickets through Klook might have been overpriced, but we’re guaranteed and came with a tour guide that explained the history of sumo, showed us around the arena and provided us with commentary during the sumo matches through an earpiece (optional for you to listen to during the event). So a big shout out to our tour guide Maki as she was awesome!
I had a great experience. Yoshi, our guide, was so helpful in explaining the background and rules of the tournament. Highly recommend this event.
Yoko was a great tour guide! She is clearly passionate about the sport of Sumo and it shows through her enthusiasm of explaining the sport, wrestlers and arena information. Watching sumo with Yoko was such a treat and I find myself befoming a fan of sumo wrestling also!!
Though we Don't really like being in Group experiences, and we thought it was going to be too long, we really enjoyed the experience, and you appreciate and understand more when a Guide tells you about the history, rule games and different aspects of the players. Thank you Rumí for our good experience!
sumo was a super experience. Klook’s organization & information was comprehensive & precise. our Guide Aki was informative & kept us updated through the matches on the contestants, where they can from & entertaining facts. I would recommend this event via Klook .
Has a wonderful time on this trip to the Grand Tournament. Azuko and Yoshi were very organized and informative. We were in great hands all day. Would definitely recommend to someone to do this group tour and see some sumo wrestling.
The best way to watch the Sumo Tournament is through this guided tours. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun. She knew the background of the wrestlers. Fantastic experience!
This was a great way to experience a sumo tournament for the first time. Our guide Nozemi was very knowledgeable and provided insightful explainations into the matches. The five hours flew by.
really good experience. favourite activity for myself during the trip. guide was incredible and gave great information. helped us travel and enjoy the sumo as much as possible.
The itinerary was arranged by a Japanese tour guide, who is also very knowledgeable about sumo wrestling. During the process, he could answer questions one by one about which player he was, and he could also tell the previous rankings of the main players. It is very worth visiting. You can go backstage to see the sumo wrestlers up close, or you can take photos of the sumo wrestlers in the designated fan area outside. If you are lucky, you can also meet them in the dining area.
Good to know
Enjoy a day trip even from Tokyo, Kyoto or Osaka whether as solo participants or in groups!
