Sumo wrestling: Recommended tours & tickets

The grand sumo tournament tour in Tokyo is a small group tour with real-time commentaries by a sumo expert guide. What decisively differentiates this tour is: Firstly, each traveler will receive a package which includes: 1) A pamphlet showing photos and profiles of each wrestler with English translation; see the photo section. The guide will walk you through it as you watch each fight. 2) A cheer-up towel for a particular wrestler. The guide will show you how to use it when the wrestler is going to fight; cheering up a particular wrestler will significantly increase the joy of watching. 3) A sumo booklet which tells pretty much all about sumo. Secondly, what also sets our tour apart is use of an earphone guide system. Your guide will provide real-time commentaries through your headset throughout the tour. We also offer an optional sumo town walking tour to visit must-see sumo-related landmarks prior to the tournament viewing.
