1. About this website
asakusasumo.tokyo ("the Site", "we", "us") is an independent, unofficial information website providing guidance to visitors interested in the Asakusa sumo experience in Tokyo, Japan. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any sumo venue, operator, ticket office or the official Japan Sumo Association. We do not sell tickets.
2. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. We may update these terms from time to time, and continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
3. Affiliate disclosure
The Site participates in affiliate programmes, principally with GetYourGuide. This means that when you click certain links on the Site and complete a booking or purchase, we may earn a commission. This comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price you would have paid otherwise.
Affiliate relationships help fund the Site and keep our content free. They do not influence our editorial content: we describe experiences honestly, including their limitations. Booking links are marked with appropriate attributes (such as sponsored and nofollow).
4. We do not sell tickets or handle bookings
All bookings, payments, confirmations, changes, cancellations and refunds are handled entirely by third-party platforms such as GetYourGuide and the experience operators. We have no access to your booking and cannot amend or cancel it. For any booking issue, contact the platform you booked through using your confirmation email.
5. Accuracy of information
We work to keep information accurate and current, and we surface live pricing and availability from official listings where possible. However, prices, schedules, inclusions and other details can change without notice and may contain errors. All information is provided "as is" for general guidance only. Always confirm current details on the official booking page before purchasing. We accept no liability for decisions made based on information on the Site.
6. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage arising from your use of the Site, reliance on its content, or any transaction with a third-party provider. Your use of any third-party site is governed by that site's own terms and policies.
7. Intellectual property
Content on the Site, including text and original images, is owned by or licensed to us and may not be reproduced without permission. Third-party trademarks, brand names and logos referenced on the Site remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and descriptive purposes only.
8. Privacy & cookies
We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. If you contact us by email or through our contact form, we use your details only to respond to your enquiry. Third-party services embedded on the Site (such as booking widgets and analytics) may set cookies or collect usage data under their own privacy policies. By using the Site you consent to this use. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
9. External links
The Site contains links to external websites operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, practices or availability of those websites. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.
