5.00Machiko san gave my friends and I a wonderful experience. She was very knowledgable and explained the whole sumo event and tradition in detail, despite it being her first time going to an event. Thank you Machiko san!

5.00Satsuki was very pleasant, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Sumo. She provided a lot of background information we wouldn’t have got if we went on our own. We definitely want to see more Sumo!

5.00Wow! What a great experience it was attending our first Sumo match in Japan. The guide Satsuki was very kind, informative and told us all about the history of sumo, brought brochures about the competitors, their stats, their background and more. It made the whole experience very enjoyable! We cheered for the Osaka players as we watched the game there. The seats had a nice view on the stage. If we went alone we would probably struggle to understand what's going on. I highly recommend this tour and Satsuki.
Sumo's finest ambassador!

5.00This was a great tour of the Sumo tournament in Osaka. Chiko was great! She was knowledgeable, funny, and charming all at the same time. If you want someone endearing to the activities that are dear to their own heart, Chiko is the person to have as your guide.
Super but too expensive sumo tournament

4.00The tournament is great. It's worth seeing. However, tickets with klook are too expensive for what the tour operator brings. The guide spoke very poor English and apart from taking us to the arena....well he does nothing else even if he is very nice and smiling. It's not his fault it's the service that is too expensive!!
Excellent visitor experience
