The sumo history tour was so much fun! Maik was very knowledgeable and made the complicated sport easily understandable to us. We learned a lot, and the best part was the sumo lunch at the end!
My family had a great time on this tour! Maik kept things informative and fun. We definitely recommend!
Maikel knows sumo. Not only does he masterfully explain the unique hierarchical structure of the sport, he also has a hands on session where you can volunteer to learn some of the best techniques to win at sumo too. But best of all you get to eat a traditional sumo supper that you cook yourself!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It really means a lot to hear that you enjoyed not only the explanations, but also the interactive parts of the experience. Sumo is such a unique world with deep traditions, and our goal is to make it accessible, engaging, and memorable—even without a live tournament. We’re especially happy that you enjoyed the hands-on session and the chanko nabe experience. Cooking and sharing the meal together is one of the most authentic ways to connect with sumo culture. Thank you again for joining the tour and for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate it! Best regards, Maji Super Tours
It was a cozy tour and all questions were answered.
A great and enthusiastic guide. An activity without seeing sumo or stadium. Disappointment Value for money is bad
Thank you for your feedback, Alain. We truly appreciate your kind words about the guide and are glad to hear you found them enthusiastic—that means a lot to us. At the same time, we’re sorry to hear that part of the experience did not meet your expectations. Our Tokyo Sumo History Tour is designed specifically to focus on the cultural background, traditions, and daily life of sumo, along with a chanko nabe meal. As outlined in the tour description, this experience does not include a live sumo match or a stadium visit. Sumo tournaments take place only during specific periods of the year, and outside of those dates, our goal is to provide an in-depth and engaging look into the world of sumo in a different way. We understand that expectations can sometimes differ, and we will continue working to make the nature of the tour as clear as possible for all future guests. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Tokyo. Best regards, Maji Super Tours
We had a Sumo history tour with Maik in Tokyo. Very well presented, detailed, fun facts and entertaining. Lunch was good.hit the spot on a rainy morning! I would recommend for families with kids or just adults. Maik is knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. Definitely will look into booking other options!
Thank you very much for your kind review! I’m glad you enjoyed the Sumo History Tour and that the mix of history, fun facts, and lunch made for a great experience, even on a rainy day. It was a pleasure having you, and I’d be happy to welcome you again on another tour in the future.
Great experience, Maik was a great tourguide with interesting facts about the sumo world. Highly recommended
Thus was a great tour with a good overview of the sport of sumo. While I knew so e things about sumo like the rankings, the connection to spirituality, and its place in Japanese culture, I didn’t know the specifics so I was happy to learn. Maik was a great guide, engaging with us all and his enthusiasm for sumo (and being a tour guide) showed. And the lunch we had was delicious! I would recommend this tour if you want a sumo related tour beyond the normal tourist experience.
I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the Tokyo Sumo History Tour with Chanko Nabe Lunch and that it added more depth to what you already knew about sumo. Many guests are familiar with the rankings or the spiritual side of the sport, but once we dive into the rituals, history, and cultural background, it really brings everything together in a new way. Sumo is so much more than just a competition — it’s tradition, discipline, Shinto influence, and modern professional sport all combined. Sharing that full picture is something I truly enjoy. And I’m glad you liked the chanko nabe! Finishing the experience with the same style of meal that wrestlers eat daily makes the whole story feel complete.
A truly amazing experience, with a very knowledgeable, and passionate tour guide, Maik. He provided deep insights about the history, cultural and spiritual context of Sumo wrestling in Japanese society. We got a deep sense of how exclusive the sport is, and how much the wrestlers are revered. In addition to taking us to some locations of stables, where the wrestlers live, Maik also gave us insights about the lives of wrestlers during their training and competitions, and life after they retire from wrestling. We also visited the shrine to Sumo wrestlers and he even stopped some Sumo wrestlers and asked graciously for them to take pictures with us. The meal was authentic, and in a really cool atmosphere. Strongly encourage you to take this tour with Maik as your guide.
I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the Tokyo Sumo History Tour with Chanko Nabe Lunch and that the deeper historical, cultural, and spiritual aspects of sumo resonated with you. Sumo is such a layered world — from the strict hierarchy and exclusivity to the daily discipline inside the stables — and I always aim to give guests a real understanding of what life is like for the wrestlers, both during their careers and after retirement. I’m glad you appreciated visiting the stable areas and the shrine dedicated to sumo, and that we were lucky enough to respectfully meet a few wrestlers along the way. Moments like that can make the experience feel very personal and memorable. And of course, finishing with authentic chanko nabe in that atmosphere is always a highlight — it completes the story of sumo from tradition to daily life. Thank you again for your strong recommendation. It was a pleasure sharing the world of sumo with you!
It was an excellent in-depth informative learning of sumo! Malik was an outstanding guide. While you don’t actually see sumos - we literally learned how to play/watch Sumo. The chanko nabe lunch was delicious! We were lucky to have just us - my husband and 11 yo son. Private and fun. While observing the sumo stable, we even got to see 2 Sumos who were going about their daily lives! I would highly recommend this as a non-touristy experience!
I’m really happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed the Tokyo Sumo History Tour with Chanko Nabe Lunch and that the experience felt both informative and fun. Even without watching an actual match, understanding how to follow, analyze, and truly appreciate sumo makes a huge difference when you do see it later. It’s always special when the tour feels more personal, and I’m glad you enjoyed having that private atmosphere with your husband and son. And spotting wrestlers near the stable going about their daily routines is always an exciting bonus — those real-life moments make the world of sumo feel much more tangible. I’m also very glad you enjoyed the chanko nabe — it’s the perfect way to connect everything we discuss to the wrestlers’ everyday lives. Thank you again for recommending it as a non-touristy experience. It was a pleasure sharing the world of sumo with your family!
