Well organized, in arear do not go to see such an event without guidance. You will miss at least 50% of the experience. The seats were very good, the guide was knoledgeable. We all (5 adults) highly recommend this experience.

Sumo was amazing, and we also loved the papers and the other stuff they gave us. Truely, one of the best thing I did in japan. Also the guide was really good at explaining everything and sharing her passion in Sumo.
