Recommended for travelers who leave for daylight tours, the whole area can ride no need to worry about the ticket in addition to the basic fare, but also includes the whole area of daylight buses 👍🏻

The host is very good at stirring up the atmosphere and briefly explaining the history and culture of sumo (English commentary). There are game demonstrations and rules explanations during the performance. The sumo wrestlers are also very friendly. The content is rich and entertaining. The food is also delicious, and if you don’t have enough food, you can get more for free (except drinks), so you don’t have to worry about not being full. Finally, you can experience a sumo wrestling match and compete with the players! It's very worth it. My partner and I had a lot of fun.
