It was a great experience and our tour guide made sure that we knew what was going on. He was really great and answered all the questions we had. We love Japan and the people.

The opportunity to see a live Sumo tournament is one all should take. It's a great experience and is a lot of fun. The seats aren't the best and you are seated a little way back on the second floor, but you still get a good view of the action. The guide we had sadly didn't offer anything to the experience, so don't expect much from the guides. But it's still a good day out.

It was nice that I didn't have to wait in line for tickets, as well as trying to figure out where to go. But paying 90 for a 45 dollar ticket didn't seem that worth it. We used the subway to get there as a group, then they old us some information about the match, all which could be found with ten minutes of reading wikipedia. The sumo was good, but the 'tour' okay.

Everything went very smooth. The Sumo matches were exciting, the crowds were boisterous and the guide was informative. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Amazing experience. If you're in Tokyo while there's a tournament on, it's a must see!

The only issue I had was that we were asked to meet at a bus station for the tour, so I assumed we were being taken by bus. Instead, we were all herded off on the subway, which is fine except it would make much more sense for people to meet out at the sumo venue. The guide was great and gave us lots of valuable insight into the sport. A really enjoyable afternoon.

The tour guide explained all the rules and traditions of Sumo Wrestling. We learned a lot about the sport and have a greater appreciation after experiencing it first-hand.

Travel to the venue slow and multiple changes. No transport back - do it on your own. Ad hoc help with instructions. Event was very good.

The tour was much better than expected. Our tour group leader was very informative, knowledgeable, and really looked out for us the whole time we were watching the Sumo tournament. She was constantly giving us bits of interesting info on the sumo contestants. She even made sure people who thought they should have been in our seats, were redirected to their proper section. The museum was very small, yet quite charming. The brochures provided were very helpful. Overall, a great experience!

The wrestling is absolutely formidable. If you go to Japan, you must organize to see a match.
