Hi all,

I'm on a JAL layover arriving Saturday Jan 21 at 3pm (from ORD) and leaving Sunday at 10AM (to DEL). I know JAL will give me an overnight room at Narita. I notice that there is a Sumo tournament on. Tickets are sold out, but I see there are resalers. Looks like the tournament ends at 6pm or so, which means I might make the last hour at best, if I RUN our of the airport. I see it's a little over an hour by train, with two connections, and... it's my first time in Japan.

So I'm almost ready to give up on the Sumo idea, but wonder if any think it's doable. This is my first time in Japan, and who knows if I'll be able to work Sumo into my plans when I take an actual trip here. I figure I can manage one Japanese thing to do in my short layover; this seemed like a cool idea.

If that's not the thing to do, what would all suggest? I'm inclined to take the Narita hotel for easy, baggage (have to check something for this trip), etc. That means into Tokyo for the evening after dropping off baggage. I thought I might stop by the Naritasan temple in the early AM before my flight out.
