It was nice to see the sumo wrestlers practice. It was a good introduction to the tournament. However, I wish it was a little longer, for the price.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your review! We completely understand your comment as well. On the days when a tournament is held, the morning Keiko (practice) mainly focuses on the wrestlers’ warm-up, so it usually finishes within 35–50 minutes. We hope for your kind understanding on this point. Still, we truly appreciate your kind words and are very happy to know you enjoyed watching the sumo training experience.
