It was a wonderful trip. Our guide, Mari, is a true sumo fan. Full of passion and knowledge for sumo. She experienced the competition, and we did too.

We were early, so there were just a few people, which made the experience even nicer! The digital art is beautiful and well made.

Having unlimited subway access and being able to visit over 40 attractions is a fantastic opportunity. Even though we picked it up in the afternoon, Osaka Castle was our first stop, but after that we visited four more different buildings.

The private Guide was excellent. Although we could not speak english with him, we managed to find a solution for our communication. He was by far the best guide we had during our vacations in any region worldwide. I must apologize my very late recenssion, but I still hope this reachs you, since the service was excellent.
