      We had to cancel due to illness but my daughter loved it !!!
      Stuart_C, Nov 2023
      Unfortunately, my wife was ill the night before and was unable to attend the tour (I also missed it to stay with her). I totally understand the cancellation policy but it’s a shame that, due to these circumstances, we could not get any sort of refund or voucher for future use. However, having said that, my daughter went on the tour & thoroughly enjoyed the experience … the tour guide was very nice & extremely knowledgeable and the Sumo wrestler had a great presence … he was very nice, friendly & funny. All in all, my daughter absolutely loved the experience …. But my wife & I will have to wait until next time …
