Hot pot + sumo match - My wife and I had an amazinggggg time. We loved our tour guide Hiro. He was energetic, conversational, soooo well informed and clearly a fan of sumo himself. He really made the experience marvelous for us. We met some sumo fans outside of our group that were really surprised about how much we know about sumo, little did they know that Hiro just taught us an hour prior! The lunch was phenomenal and in the cutest place ever. I would highly recommend this experience to someone interested in sumo but doesn’t know their way around the sport. We really enjoyed this experience and I now have hopes of become a Yokozuna one day myself.

Wonderful - This was a truly fantastic experience. Our guide Kaz shared her enthusiasm and her knowledge of Sumo wrestling in a fun and enjoyable way. She gave us a brief history of Sumo wrestling, and told us about each wrestler's background. She brought fans with the Sumo wrestler's faces so we could root for them, and scorecards to keep track of each match. I felt very engaged because of her. I left with a great appreciation of Sumo. My only complaint was a very rude German woman sitting behind me. But other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it. If I lived in Tokyo, I would do attend a Sumo tournament as often as possible.

Great experience with Joji!! - We had the best time! We are so glad we took this tour with Joji! Because of him, we were able to to understand what was happening. If it we did not go with a group, we wouldn't have been able to appreciate everything. I definitely recommend any visitors to do this tour. Joji is knowledgeable and passionate about sumo! A must-do experience!

An experience of a lifetime - This was a once in a lifetime event and it was remarkable. As we sat and watched the event, our guide explained the meaning of the event and how it was also a ceremony and much as a sport. One of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended

Heartfelt recommendation for all - The experience was even more special thanks to our guide Oku, who gave us information about the process and the fighters. So we were really able to cheer in the fight and had a good overview. We even had the opportunity to get photos with the sumo fighters thanks to our guide. Would go back anytime and put it to everyone's heart to have seen it once in a lifetime.

Sumo in Tokyo - Super fun. Seats were too far from the stage and our group did not communicate much. I loved the show!
