    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.

    Very easy to use. Convenient to be able to view tickets without an internet connection.“You just need to download the app—it’s very quick, and the tickets are easily accessible. The staff on site can scan them quickly, which helps avoid unnecessary queues at the ticket counters.

    This was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Kyoto! We went for an afternoon show and it was a lovely experience. We learned about the history and daily practices of Geishas and Maikos, as well as got to experience a live performance from one of the few Maikos left in Kyoto!
