Started at 8:30 and takes a couple of hours to get there, with a break stop. Make sure you book for a clear skies sunny day, it’s beautiful and we ended up stopping 4 times! At different viewing areas and a lovely village at the end. The guide was amazing and he gave us some good insight and then you go and explore the area yourself. Great day out! Highly recommend.

Great experience, well organised, (we were met at the meeting point with a sign) ,authentic, we learned a lot about Asakusa area in an hour and a bit! We had blankets and our seats in the rickshaw had heating pads, so we were not cold despite it being February! Our guide Yuki was very knowledgeable and took great pictures of our family ! Definitely recommend!

Absolutely amazing tour with so much information before actually seeing the sumo wrestling. It’s an exciting sport to watch. Having the English commentary was great too. Order the lunch, it was delicious.

The bus depart on time, we visited exactly the places they told us at the description of the tour. The places visited were amazing the only thing we could see Mt. Fuji because of the cloudy day.

Our guide Bruce was great! He was very knowledgable and patient with all our questions. Highly recommended for all your sumo needs!
