Passeios por Ryōgoku Kokugikan

Michiko was INCREDIBLE. If you're lucky enough to have her as your tour guide, she explained the history of Sumo, how it works, traditions, fun facts, and even provided great visuals to understand what we were watching. She elevated the experience to where we enjoyed the show to the fullest extent, the location itself, and were guided to the best souvenir shops. We were lucky to be part of a small group. S class seats are the way to go! Best view of the house with some amazing takeaway treats!

Such an amazing experience. If you have the privilege, please take advantage. Many people don't get to experience or have 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 would stop what she was doing and find the answer for us.

Tuvimos un tiempo excelente con nuestro guía, Miguel. Estaba muy bien informado y nos dio mucha información histórica, puntos de vista personales y fue muy complaciente en todo momento. Como había 2 guías y 5 invitados, nos dieron la opción de dividirnos. Optamos por dividirnos, y el recorrido en grupo se convirtió en un recorrido privado. En su mayoría, anduvimos por carriles peatonales, pero también tomamos las carreteras cuando había demasiada gente en la acera. Miguel nos tomó fotos e incluso nos recomendó generosamente varios lugares de interés. ¡Gracias por la experiencia memorable, Miguel! :)

Danny was great, the tour was as advertised, self guided and we got some great cherry blossom shots. I do wish we spent more time at Ueno park vs the last 2 stops as there seemed to be more to do there. I do feel like the cost was a bit high for what it was. We did get lunch added but otherwise we were essentially just paying for transportation to the parks, which you might be better off just taking the train to visit if you want to save money. It was $50 less for the trip I bought through the same company to drive us 2.5 hours away to Mt. Fuji.

I got to sit in an R34 V-Spec II Nür to get to Daikoku! Our driver was super professional. Despite driving fast at certain points, it never felt dangerous. Super safe driving. Daikoku was super cool, and we stopped by Tokyo Tower too!

El guía Brendan fue muy amable y nos dio mucha información interesante sobre la historia del Palacio y los jardines. Solo los jardines están abiertos a los visitantes, pero fue un paseo agradable e interesante. Fue una visita realmente agradable y un guía muy bueno. Muy recomendable.

Jim was amazing! He messaged me for the location and made sure I had all my questions answered before the tour. Jim also gave tips on how to prepare for the tour and what to expect. Jim was lovely to be around. He had so much knowledge about the history and culture. Jim also gave us some treats and made the tour relaxing and fun! Highly recommend!

The tour was a great experience. Not only was I able to learn about the history of the temple being created, but also how it still holds relevance for so many in Japan today. Yuuka was welcoming and inviting from hello. She had great recommendations for all the shops, and it did not disappoint. I thought it would be a tour only, but I was able to get souvenirs and must-try food options. Yuuka always checked in and really took care to ensure I was having the best experience.
