Our tour guide was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, knowledgeable and gave us so much information so that we could more enjoy and understand the tournament. The meeting point was easy to find and the action of sumo was something we will remember. We also had our 4 month old with us and the facility was baby friendly.

Tamako is extremely knowledgeable & enthusiastic about the sport which makes it even more fun to watch. I had a really great time. Booking on Tripadvisor & meeting up infront of the stadium was also very easy.

We had a wonderful experience with our guide at our first sumo event! Suzuki was very knowledgeable, kind, and fun guide to be with who helped us understand the matches and have lots of helpful background informational. Strongly recommend!
Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed Suzuki's tour!
Our sumo tournament experience was made so much better by our guide Tomoko. She explained everything about the tournament and arena during a walking tour before the tournament started. When the tournament started, she pointed out each wrestler and explained his traits and experience. Our tour was so much better than if we had just tried to purchase tickets and gone without any guidance. Thank you so much for such a great time!!!
