Our guide Yummi was wonderful. Her enthusiasm and good humor made the event far better than it would have been without her. She taught us so much about sumo and the history of the competition and her excitement for the sumos she loved most was a pleasure to share. I would absolutely recommend this tour and Yummi to other people visiting Nagoya.
