Ryogoku Kokugikan

Reviewed By larryb802 - Pattaya, Thailand

We attended the May basho in Tokyo. This was our second time at the Kokugikan for sumo. I encourage everyone to see a Grand Sumo Tournament! There are 6 such tournaments a year in Japan: 3 in Tokyo; 1 in Nagoya; 1 in Fukuoka; 1 in Osaka. I see on this site that some people have had difficulty buying sumo tickets from overseas. Others have paid way too much for their tickets. Both times, we bought our tickets through the same website (I am not allowed to state here the name of the site – I tried!). This site charges a modest fee for purchasing the tickets for you, then a small fee for international mailing you the tickets. (You can, alternately, chose to have the tickets sent to your hotel in Japan; we haven't tried this option.) Their customer service is amazing! For example, the cost for 4 people on a weekday, Arena A seats, would be: *per seat = 9,000Yen + 1,200 Service Charge = 10,200Yen *times 4 = 40,800Yen *plus 1,590 - 2,550 Yen for shipping (depending where you live) *TOTAL for 4 people = 42,390 - 43,350Yen (=about $387US) Andrew J's review on this site states that he paid $186 AUD per seat for a 3,800Yen seat (which would likely be an Arena C seat). At the site we used, he would have paid (by my calculation) 22,600 Yen total for 4 seats = about $70 AUD per seat. The site we used was not difficult to find on the Internet, so keep trying! PLEASE SEE SUMO! But, do it at a REASONABLE PRICE!

Tokyo Skytree

Reviewed By 629yeetingc - Singapore, Singapore

I went before the sunsets, so I managed to get 2 different views of daylight and night view, it is really a must go, the views is fantastic and worthwhile and i can say it is worth a million dollar view night scenery if you really cannot afford too much time. the building has a lot of food and shopping below which you can spend few hours . I have hours of wow wow , impressed by the various views 360degrees and big glass panel and transparent glass flooring, etc, etc
