The highlight of our time in Tokyo

5.00We were in Tokyo for 6 days and did a lot in that time, but this experience sticks out as the most memorable for us. Ryoko, our guide, was full of information and was able to teach us a lot about sumo wrestling. The experience of watching the wrestlers train was so interesting and entertaining, and the food provided for lunch was delicious as well. I would not hesitate to do this activity again. Thank you for a wonderful morning!
Awesome experience!...

5.00If you are only a little interested in sumo it is a very worthwhile and also impressive experience. You are very close and can watch the entire, very intense training of the wrestlers for about an hour. After that there is time for photos with the sumos and we were also allowed to try to push one of the wrestlers from the spot. The organization of the event was also very good. Our manager Ryoko told us a lot of basics about the sport on the way to Sumostall and answered all questions in very good English during the course of the event. Overall absolutely recommended!
Worderful experience
