Hi Julia. Keisei would be a good option, some of their trains have continuations that can take you from Narita Airport through to Asakusa without changing trains, check online at the time or let them know at the counter when you buy your ticket that is what you want as not all departure times work that way.

We will be flying into Tokyo and staying at the Richmond at Asakusa, and my research suggests that the Keisi express from Narita Airport to Asakusa is the most convenient as it seems to be the most direct without having to transfer from other stations. I would welcome your comments please.
Julia

There are 6 major Sumo tournaments a year each running for a fortnight, 3 of them in Tokyo and others in Osaka, Fukuoka and Nagoya, they are the best time to watch it. Unfortunately December isn't a tournament month. Other than that there are a few tours that go to the sumo stables and watch training bouts and at least one place that has a small window for viewing so you can just turn up and see the training in progress, if they are training that day. Sorry but it is really hard to have a sumo experience outside the national tournaments.

I have been trying to find some tips on attending a Sumo wrestling match and am not having much luck. Do you have any advice here? We will be in Tokyo from the 15th December then Mt Fuji, Kyoto, Hakuba and Tokyo again. Thank-you in advance. Maria
