My family and I are big sumo fans and watch every event for years. Sumo is not just a sport but is a deep culturally significant event as an offering for Shinto gods. There are so many aspects that we can find interesting and worth to learn. If you want to have someone to assist you on how to enjoy It sumo, I'm happy to be your guide.
As an older woman traveling alone she accommodated me by picking me up at my hotel, cheerfully. She has been to Ghibli park many times and was able to navigate the park so I was able to see every sight I wanted and still have time for lunch before our scheduled time in the warehouse. Saki speaks great E glish so we communicated seamlessly. Saki is a kind, thoughtful guide who made sure I was as comfortable as possible through the whole tour. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your kind review! It was so interesting hearing about your stay in Japan, I hope you could make a good memory at Ghibli Park. That rainy passage to the Totoro house was a special memory for me. If you have a next chance to visit here, I am happy to attend you again! Thank you so much for your booking.
This sumo experience has been a highlight of our almost 3 week trip in Japan. Saki was so helpful in picking tickets, setting up a meeting time, and explaining all of the interesting and amazing details that makes sumo so interesting. We spent about five hours and they just flew by, my teenage boys sat with Saki and asked her questions and had fun with her, too. She’s such a nice person, you will really enjoy your time with her. She also gave us some dining suggestions, offered to walk us around Nagoya Castle, and helped set up a car to Ghibli Park. She knows Nagoya and Kyoto inside and out, I can’t recommend her enough! So easy to communicate with her and so nice to spend time with her.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It was my pleasure to attend for your first time sumo experience, I enjoyed a lot spending time with you. I appreciate your interest in this sport, especially your sons had very interesting point of view. I hope this experience became something special for them.Thank you so much for your booking again, hopefully we can see again in the future!
Fuimos con Saki a conocer Shirakawa-go y Takayama desde Nagoya . Los pueblos son preciosos aunque el viaje desde Nagoya en autobús se hace muy largo y es una pena pues nos faltó tiempo en Takayama . Saki muy atenta y encantadora . Nos dio muchas recomendaciones para la excursión y para todo el viaje ,merece la pena ir con ella se hace todo más fácil. Gracias Saki por un día tan estupendo!
