My guide Marie was great and the Chanko got pot was delicious! It was very informative and I was able to get many questions answered.

having a guide at the sumo tournament was very helpful because she was very informative about the whole event.

Fantastic cultural experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and went to a lot of effort to share this with us.

I would suggest this is a must for travel to Japan. I would go again. Great cultural and sports event.

We were fortunate to be in Japan during the Tokyo Sumo Tournament in May. Although this review is a few months late, it was a great experience. The meeting area at the bus terminal was very organized, and we were met by our guide, Ako. She provided us with an excellent overview of the sport, and distributed useful information. She accompanied us to the sumo stadium on the train, and throughout the matches, she answered any questions that arose. She went above and beyond to ensure that everyone enjoyed themselves. After the matches were done, she walked us to the restaurant where we had an authentic chanko nabe meal, and ensured that we knew how to return to our hotel on the train. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Awesome experience would definitely do it again, the translator was a little difficult to understand. But overall 5/5

We were lucky that this Sumo tournament was happening during our vacation to Japan. We jumped at the opportunity and were not disappointed at all! Booking through Viator made this super easy otherwise I heard getting tickets to this is super hard even for Japanese residents. Since we had never seen Sumo it was nice that before the show Sumo was explained and during the show we were handed a quick guide about the different Sumo wrestlers. I 100% recommend this to everyone!

Any seat in the arena is good. Very enjoyable to watch competitors in action. Most matches last less than 30 seconds. Would go again. Highly recommended.

This was a fantastic experience and made better by having a guide explain everything to us. We learnt about the history of the Sumo, how the matches work, how much the Sumo's earn through sponsors and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of the stadium. Highly recommended.

Our tour guide was awesome! Miki is the best! We met her on the Ghibli Museum tour, and she remembered us from that trip. She is a big Sumo fan, and very knowledgeable and has her own fight card/cheat sheet made up so we could follow each individual match and know something about each of the wrestlers. For me, it was the highlight of our 10 day trip. Loved everything about it. Very happy we were lucky enough to see part of a Sumo tournament, and even luckier to get Miki as a tour guide. She was the deluxe upgrade to a fantastic tour.
