About This Tour
What decisively differentiates this tour is the guide’s attentiveness to each traveler to make the experience memorable. Firstly, each traveler will receive three souvenirs which are hard to come by. 1) A pamphlet showing photos and profiles of wrestlers with English translation. The guide will walk you through it as you watch each fight. 2) A cheer-up towel for a particular wrestler. The guide will show you how to use it when the wrestler is going to fight; cheering up a particular wrestler will significantly increase the joy of watching. 3) A sumo booklet which tells pretty much all about sumo. Secondly, using an earphone guide system, your guide will provide real-time commentaries through your headset throughout the tournament.
