Great experience
The guide, Masao, was really nice and competent. The seating was perfect and the overall experience outstanding. We liked the opportunity to take photos with the wrestlers after the practice.
Fun and educational morning option
I had a morning to myself on our family trip to Japan, and this was a perfect way to spend it. It was informative and entertaining. The group learned the basics of sumo before entering the trading. Next we watched the intense training, and then we were provided with more details along with photos with the sumo wrestlers. A nice added touch was that our guide also took some photos and shared them with the group afterward, since I’m notoriously poor at taking photos.
This was fine to do alone, as there’s (supposed to be) no talking during the training, anyways.
Overall it was a great experience I’ll never forget, and I’ll be searching how to watch the next big tournament when I’m back home!
