  We had such a great time on our Sumo tournament tour with Ellie in Nagoya. None of us knew anything about Sumo, but Ellie, who is a great guide, educated us all about it. Now we're all into watching Sumo matches on TV, and plan to attend another tournament in Nagoya next year

  Great experience if you are looking to see Sumo fights in Japan's summer. Elisabeth has a great knowledge of Sumo and shows you a lot of details. The atmosphere in the IG Arena Nagoya was outstanding.

  I went on the Sumo tour in Nagoya with two coworkers, and we had an amazing time. We were lucky to get corner box seats, which were a bit larger and allowed all four of us to sit together comfortably. Our guide, Elly, was incredibly knowledgeable about sumo and shared a lot of interesting insights, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour!

  Were severely disappointed by the organisation - allow an overbooking and then unilaterally cancel after we have organised everything. That's how you can spoil the day for 4 children...

• Great experience!

  We had fun and learnt a lot about Sumo! Sumo tickets are hard to come by and the details are difficult to understand for someone new to watching the sport. It was amazing to have someone explain to us and share her passion for the sport. The view from the top of the stadium was good and useful so we did not disrupt the rest and was close to the air-conditioning. We are excited and well-equipped to watch Sumi ourselves next time!

• Large family sumo adventure

  My husband and I have been watching sumo online for months and we were thrilled to find out our trip was going to coincide with a tournament. We arranged our schedule to spend the afternoon in Nagoya on the way to Kyoto from Tokyo. Nagoya is Not Boring was excellent from the moment of inquiry and throughout the event. We knew getting tickets would be tough but they secured 7 tickets for us. Because of our numbers we got two guides which ended up being very helpful as we were spread down a row and behind. We were shocked how into it our kids were as they had never seen a match before. Even my very sports disinterested daughter was all about it. The guides helped us a lot with my daughter who is unsteady on her feet due to cerebral palsy. They also guided us with the traditional meal and souvenir shopping. We learned so much and it was the highlight of our trip to Japan!

  

  

  

  

• Great sport, very limited value for the price.

  The Sumo Tournament itself is an amazing experience. But, you'll pay $180 for the experience, for which you will receive a $35 ticket waaaay in the back of the arena, a $4 cup of chicken soup and a Japanese retiree guide who'll tell you that the goal of sumo is to push the other guy out of the circle. And you will NOT be able to walk closer to sumo matches to take photos. Next time I will just buy much better tickets instead of the "experience".

  

• Fantastic sumo experience!

  We had a most wonderful time visiting a sumo match with Elly! Their knowledge of the sport was immensely helpful towards understanding the details of what was going on. This extended beyond the 'what' and 'why's taking place, to extensive knowledge of the wrestlers and why Elly (and therefore we) is cheering for them! We'd strongly recommend this your to others. Go Wakatakakage!
