    This was an amazing experience! It’s very difficult to get tickets to Sumo through the official booking platforms so when I found this tour I booked it ASAP. Our tour guide was prompt, organized and answered our questions during the Sumo matches. I highly recommend booking this tour to experience the tradition on Sumo wrestling.

  • Fantastic sumo experience 😀

    I had the pleasure of joining Lily’s sumo tour, and it was truly outstanding. Lily is incredibly enthusiastic, warm, and full of positive energy. She explained everything with passion and made the experience both educational and fun. Her kindness and friendliness made everyone feel comfortable and welcome, and her warm personality really stood out. It’s rare to meet a guide who combines such deep knowledge with genuine care for the group. I would highly recommend Lily to anyone—she made the sumo experience unforgettable!
