The guide was a bit difficult to understand, I would have liked more information about the areas we drove through and especially the Fujiyoshida Comotaph Monument. I did not know how what it was for until I labored up the hill and read the sign.

It’s wonderful to be able to photograph those nooks and crannies from the other side, allowing you to admire the perfect harmony and controlled contrast between the modern and the ancient. I also liked the fact that there were covered seating areas, which offered shelter during heavy rain, and that it was possible to get off at the stop of your choice to explore the area. On the other hand, I didn’t like the extremely long wait times between buses.

This was better than expected - an we were very excited to go! We learned about the history of sumo, we saw some signature moves, the emcee was engaging and the wrestlers were really fun and dynamic. My kids were thrilled and it was actually very enjoyable for the parents too! Highly recommend.
