The guide named Yohei was experienced, had an amazing english and was overall very knowledgeable and available to any questions. The Basho was very nice to see in person and the sits we got was good, one of the best in the area available.

Highly recommend, very worth the price considering it’s near impossible to get tickets last minute and our tour guide was exceedingly knowledgeable and passionate about sumo.

My husband and I wanted to see sumo while we were in town, but didn’t realize how early tickets sell out. We found this guided tour, and not only were our seats better than anticipated, but our guide (nickname “Shogun”) did an excellent job of explaining the rules of sumo. From previous reviews, I had excepted our guided experience to end once we entered the tournament hall, but was happily surprised to learn that starting a few months ago the guides now accompany guests during the tournament portion as well. This made finding our seats and understanding what was happening during the tournament go very smoothly. Thanks Shogun!
It was so much fun and fascinating
Mark was a great guide. Very friendly and informative! What a cool experience
Great experience! We really enjoyed this, it was great having some one guide us through the session and explain what was happening.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the experience and that having a guide to explain everything made it even more enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back for another MagicalTrip adventure soon! 😊✨
I was so excited to get to see actual sumo matches. Hiro, our guide, did a great job explaining the history of sumo and how it all works. We actually had a little tour before the big matches started. He was very informative and accommodating.
