    Sumo is a top 5 sporting event I’ve been attended. The atmosphere by the end is electric and so unique. Some tips for the stadium: Get your food earlier because a lot of it sells out. It gets a little warm in the 2nd floor so get/bring a fan.

    Initially I was a little skeptical of this purchase as the company had no reviews and little information about it available online. However they really came through when all other tickets were sold. I spent an hour refreshing the official sumo tickets website the minute tickets went on sale but when I could finally get through to a purchase screen, all tickets were sold out. For every day of the 15 day tournament. I checked viator and this was the best price I could find on B class tickets. More than buying from the official website of course but that is to be expected. Additionally it was not part of a tour so I contacted the company and asked if i could pick up the tickets the day before so I could watch all the lower division bouts from the start of the day. They made this happen for me so I am incredibly grateful. Because of this booking I was able to watch the full opening day of the May tournament, something that almost didn't happen so I can not rate this experience highly enough.
