Why choose this Tokyo tour ?
SEE THE REAL THING. You can see sumo wrestlers that had retired in shows that exhibit exhibition matches but nothing beats the real thing.
Again, why go to the stadium without getting a better grasp of what sumo is before you see the grandeur of the tournaments?
This is your ticket to the stadium of sumo and your opportunity to learn from experienced guides the basics of sumo and the cultural background behind it.
Tickets themselves are very hard to obtain.
Enjoy the show and may this be good memories of your stay in Japan.
