Great experience! We had a nice little group that was fun. Yuki did a great job explaining everything, she even prepared a sheet with additional info about the wrestlers. It was a little pricey considering what a regular ticket for the tournament would cost (if you manage to get one) nevertheless 5* bc what you got was a great experience
