Sally is an amazing tour guide, gave us a introduction to sumo; and the sumo wrestlers had a great personality and definitely an amazing feat of strength. It was a great way to start our Japan adventures, and the food that was cooked was very delicious and it was great to be able to ask the sumo wrestlers questions about their experiences, especially with Sally's help translating. As well as the food, the highlight was being able to try and push the sumo wrestlers. It was like pushing a brick wall. I had so much fun.
We had a great time at the stable meeting the wrestlers, watching them practice and learning about Sumo. Kids had a ton of fun! Einat the guide was great answering questions and giving us great background, I would highly recommend for families traveling with kids.
In addition to spending an hour watching the Sumo wrestlers practice we got to talk to them, which was very informative. s
It was really good to meet the sumo competitors from the dojo and they where all very nice. We had to pay our own tickets to there, but apart from that the experience was amazing and the kids loved it.
a very good introduction to Sumo and getting closer to knowing more about Sumo. Ryoko is very knowledgeable about Sumo and provides great information and insight about the sport.
Thank you so Much for your kind review🙏 We really appreciate that 😊
Ryoko was a brilliant guide and really went out of her way to make my experience exceptional. The sumo athletes were so friendly and impressive to watch. Loved being able to interact with them and experiencing their training.
Thank you very much Byron, We really appreciate your kind review
This tour was so much fun! Ryoko was an amazing tour guide. She shared all the history about sumo and terms with us. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour today and the stable we visited had the most hospitable stable master and sumo wrestlers. They let us enjoy watching them train and then answered all of our questions. The whole experience was very enjoyable. I’d recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you, Ryoko!

Thank you so much for choosing us and for your lovely review - That is so helpful. also thank you for following us and for all your support we really appreciate it!
We were in Tokyo for 6 days and did a lot in that time, but this experience sticks out as the most memorable for us. Ryoko, our guide, was full of information and was able to teach us a lot about sumo wrestling. The experience of watching the wrestlers train was so interesting and entertaining, and the food provided for lunch was delicious as well. I would not hesitate to do this activity again. Thank you for a wonderful morning!
Thank you so much! This kind review is really heartwarming but more so, helps us to keep supporting the stable and sustain our operation!
Awesome experience! Haruko and Ryoko were excellent and even helped us to figure out other parts of our trip.
Thank you so much for your lovely review Jesse, it is so helpful for us to keep our operation going on!
