Our tips for Sumo Wrestling

  • Learn a little before you go: It always helps if you can understand a few words of Japanese before you go. There are plenty of apps and books to help you. Even a thank-you 'arigato' after the tour will help.
  • Keep it calm: There's a serenity about visiting a Japanese garden, so on your tour, enjoy the peace and let nature reveal its beauty to you through the sounds and sights of these gardens. 
  • Keep some change: Although cards are accepted, cash is still the primary payment source. Therefore be sure to have plenty with you on your tour as there may be souvenir buying opportunities.

Good to know

Spring or Autumn are the best times to visit Japan. You have the stunning pink colours of the cherry blossoms during Spring. However, when they arrive is unpredictable, so you'll need to check. Usually, it's between mid-March and mid-April. Autumn is another good season with sunny days and changing colours. On the other hand, summer's get very hot, so you'll need to keep hydrated.
