    This was our first experience after arriving in Tokyo and it did not disappoint. Kaz was an amazing host. It was very crowded but that added to the experience. Kaz was a true fan and that made it that much more fun and authentic. She had us cheering for her favorites. She did a good job of providing background information and then while we were sitting in the arena. We sat very high in the arena and we had regular stadium seats. Location was good for us. We found the meeting point easily. We all walked into the arena together and found our seats. From there you could go get drinks/snacks. I'm not sure if the tour walked back to the train station together. We left just before the end of the matches and went to the train station ourselves. So, 4 hours is a long time but you don't have to stay for the entire time. We stayed for all but the last match. This was the highlight of our stay in Tokyo.

    We had a great time with Yuco as our guide. She's a fan and had several handouts to help us understand the tournament and was incredibly knowledgeable about the tournament and rules. Wonderful experience.

    The joining instructions were clear and a helpful person who pointed out the correct tour guide for the group I was assigned to. Our guide was very knowledgable about the sumo history and showed us around displays at the sumo museum quickly. As it was the final day of the tournament it was extremely busy and our guide was careful to keep the group together and guide us to our assigned seats in the Ryokogu Stadium. The stadium was awesome and pretty packed. Our guide was open to answering any questions asked, explaining how the bouts were organised. It was a highly charged and exciting atmosphere and I was fascinated by it all and learned a lot. This is something definitely worth attending when the opportunity arises to get a feel for the prevailing ancient culture of Japan. I enjoyed it very much.
