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.

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.

I was the envy of my friends when I told them I happened to be visiting Tokyo during a Sumo Tournament. This tour was a brilliant insight into Japanese sporting culture. (Tip: pop out to grab a drink from the kiosk during the Tournament and you may be lucky enough to come face-to-face with a Sumo Wrestler during the tournament, like I did!) I also found it really handy to have a guide explain the insider secrets about all things Sumo, that no guide book can ever tell you! Don't leave Tokyo during Tournament time without attending a match.

The sumo experience is very unique and I found it quite exciting. Having the tour guide present was a bonus as he could explain particular rituals, fill you in on wrestlers' histories etc.

Sumo was nothing like I'd ever imagined - it was better! I couldn't believe how superb the entire experience was. We enjoyed it immensely and would recommend it as a must do to all.

What a great experience! Our tour guide (Michiko) was awesome-very knowledgeable about sumo (we even cheered on her favorite wrestler, Goedo, and he won on the day we went) and pleasant. The chanko dinner was... different if you're not used to traditional Japanese cuisine. We had a great time! Cost was a little expensive, but the convenience was great.

A great afternoon and evening out with a guide who was able to fully explain the 'in's and out's' of sumo wrestling. I'm now a real sumo fan', following this ancient sport is giving me great pleasure. Thank you Viator Tours!

The event was wonderful and our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. The only drawback was the meeting set-up. It was difficult to find the guide even though we were early.
