Tastes of Tokyo - Shogun was a great tour guide, very friendly and informative. A mix of interesting food samples and local sights. My 11 year old son loved it too.

Great fun learning about and experiencing Sumo - We had a great experience with Shogun learning about and watching Sumo. Shogun was a great guide, the group was a good size, and we were able to better appreciate what we saw after learning about it. Highly recommend!

The tour was a great introduction to Sumo wrestling and made watching the fight later much more easier to understand and follow along. Super nice tour guide and seats where really good for the price. High key recommend it if you have a free afternoon, To take part of this rare and unique experience.

Good tickets and a generally ok tour. - The thing to note here is you get S western seat tickets which are impossible to get. Even for the markup from retail, it's worth the price if you don't count for the tour. The pre-tour itself was ok. Our guide (while friendly) didn't really give a lot of detailed information and only gave us a few factoids which you can glean from a wikipedia search. The tour led over to the old sumo shrine which was pretty interesting too but again didn't have a lot of knowledge and facts (just a few things here or there). Still I was happy with it all and again the seats were great. We had the option to skip the tour all together and just go to the sumo matches (which about 1/2 the group did) but at the end of the day I was happy I lingered behind to see a few more things. All that said, omg what a great experience and kinda the only way to get good seats.
