  • Really good experience, although a bit expensive

    This was a really fun experience. Watching the Sumo wrestlers train was a really unique experience. It was enhanced by the tour afterward, and the explanation by our tour guide Shinya (who was previously a reporter for sumo). Although it was a bit on the expensive side, it was worthwhile.
