My husband and I had the most fantastic 6-hour private Tokyo walking tour with Tachi. First of all, all our pre-tour communication via email was clear, prompt, helpful, and very reassuring. On the day of the tour, she contacted us to let us know she had arrived. When we met, she greeted us with a warm welcome and gave us a detailed rundown of our itinerary for the day. Tachi ensured that we got the correct underground tickets and navigated everything with ease and at a perfect pace for us. Her knowledge of all the places we visited was excellent; she really knew her stuff. Tachi took loads of photos for us too and never minded at all (I like a lot of photos!). She provided full, detailed explanations on key points of interest and even took us off the beaten track to some places we never thought of seeing in Tokyo, which were a great experience. Her overall personality was just so lovely. We instantly hit it off and had a giggle throughout. What a truly awesome start to our Japanese h

very fun and entertaining! it's definitely more of a theatrical thing and feels very a bit more suited for Tourists. That isn't exactly a bad thing but don't do this thinking it's a substitute for a genuine Sumo match. Highly recommend!

John was a very welcoming and warm man. He was very talkative and informative. He brought us on a journey to places we would never usually go or notice on holiday. very cool and different experience. would recommend A++++.

Show was kick ass, from the host to the sumo’s, my family had an excellent time, both hilarious and factual about the background of sumo wrestling. Highly recommend this place. The Styles Family. (Aussies)

Atmosphere, food, the people there, it was great to learn something new
