Sumo plus Temple

yogagirld, May 2026

Sumo experience excellent. Seats were good not great but for last minute we really appreciated it. Guide was good, but she could share more about the temple. I learned more by grabbing a pamphlet on the way out.

Amanda_S, Sep 2025

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.

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!

Very good experience

Teddy_G, May 2026

Several reminders received prior to the appointment to indicate the location with GPS coordinates, which is great. Detailed and clear presentation from our sumo guide. Provision of information from him to facilitate his setup in the room, follow the matches... which is very useful. In hindsight, even though I would do it again without hesitation, I would price the tickets at four times the price in our case and note that we were a bit too many for a single guide.
