Activity itinerary

Ryogoku Edo Noren
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Our first stop will be the historic Ryogoku station. Connected to the station is Edo Noren. This place is a recreation of what Edo Ryogoku would have looked like with store fronts and a sumo ring in the middle. A perfect place to grab a bite before we began our Sumo journey.
Ryogoku Kokugikan
  • 15m
Our next stop will be the Kokugikan, or the Sumo main hall. The building was built in 1985 and currently serves all of the biggest Sumo matches. We will see the outside of the structure and learn a bit about Sumo.
Former Site of Kokugikan
  • 15m
After seeing the modern Kokugikan, we will venture to the original site of the grand Sumo hall. The historic building was torn down, but it is very interesting to see what was built in its place!
Tomioka Hachimangu
  • 1h
After visiting the Kokugikan, Sumo hall, we will go back to where it all started. Sumo began its humble origins at Tomioka Hachimangu. While there we will see the towering stones that honor the Yokozuna, top champions, of the past and present. While there we will also see another surprising site.
