Fukuoka Grand Sumo Tournament Tour with Local Guide Tickets
Title as listed by the operator: Yummy Guide inc.
Before you book
- This site's pick for most visitors this year: the official general sale is marked sold out, so a tour that already includes a seat is a practical way in.
- Seat class (S, A, B or C) can't be chosen, and bookings are capped at three guests; parties of four or more need separate bookings and may not sit together.
- Our data does not say how this ticket is sourced. Ask the operator to confirm the seat class and the 8 November date before paying.
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before. There are no reviews yet, so treat this as new rather than proven.
- Meet the guide in front of the Fukuoka Kokusai Center's main entrance, 10 minutes before the time given at booking. No large bags, professional cameras or flash.
