This was such a unique... - This was such a unique inside view of the world of sumo. Our guide, Peach, shared a brief history of sumo prior to watching the wrestlers practice which was so useful while observing. Unfortunately I could not join the brunch afterwards (I unintentionally double booked myself) but I would have joined otherwise. 10/10 would recommend!

Great behind the seen experience - The whole thing was great. The guide was very knowledgeable. We got everything we were promised. The thrill and the excitement of a Sumo tournement is second to none but to be able to get up close and personnal and to witness how hard the wrestlers train to get there is amazing. It really felt like a genuine Japanese experience. I highly recommande it.

Authentic cultural experience - Very authentic experience watching the wrestlers train and practice. The men then had a chance to go in the ring and go up against the wrestlers. This was fun! Some wrestlers were away on tour so we had three children in the group.
