The radio headsets that we were provided didn't work at all. We were not able to hear any of the commentary. Learning about sumo wrestling was the main draw and that part failed miserably.
This was essentially a waste of time an money. I would not recommend this activity while these problems exist.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the technical issue with the radio headsets during your sumo tour.

If you’ve never been to a Sumo studio or a sumo tournament you have no idea what you’re getting into. My jaw dropped to the floor more times than I can remember and the time flew by so quickly because I was having so much new found love for this ancient tradition. Now I know I love Sumo and will make it my life mission to attend to a tournament. That said, I recommend this tour to anyone passing by or coming to Tokyo, it is a no brainer and I wish someone had recommended me this tour before. Zero regrets!

Our family really enjoyed this sumo experience. You are right up close to the sumo ring as they practice. It was so interesting to see how they train and interact with their teachers. Afterwards there was a short photo op with a couple of the sumos. This was definitely worth the time and money!

We really enjoyed this unique experience and Mako was excellent, providing great commentary throughout.
I went to the morning practice. It was actually pretty cool. But for 18000 yen it was a stretch. It was advertised as 90 min, but was more like 45min w quick photo at the end. Guide shared some interesting facts via wireless headset system. Most facts were easily accessible anywhere to those who are curious, but there were a few unique facts about individual wrestlers that came directly from the guide which I really appreciated.
Also, silly me, put a food in the dojo for photo. Sumo said No and I quickly realised. I should have known, but guide should have been absolutely clear on that protocol before photos.
Glad I went, but expensive for what it was.
Response from Host, May 2026
We are genuinely concerned and wish to express our sincere apologies upon receiving your comprehensive feedback regarding your recent observation of the sumo morning practice.
We deeply regret that the actual observation period was notably shorter than the initially presented duration, and we understand your sentiment regarding the value for the investment.

It is also good to know you valued the opportunity for a photograph at the conclusion.

We enjoyed being able to see the wrestlers go through their typical morning practice. Our guide provided us with some background information during the practice which gave us more context. This tour had chairs to sit in on 3-4 levels which was more comfortable than sitting on the floor and helped a short person like me see better.

Web I knew absolutely nothing about sumo wrestling, but I learned a lot. These men take their sport very seriously. Our guide Take was super informative. And the athletes were very nice to take pictures with all of us. WARNING: YOU HAVE TO SIT CROSS LEGGED ON THE FLOOR. I only bring this up because I had a knee replacement six weeks ago and sitting on the floor can be difficult but Take was very helpful and gave me extra pillows to sit on and allowed me to sit near the door so I could point my feet away from the athletes (showing the souls of your feet is considered a sign of disrespect)
