Ryogoku KOKUGIKAN Tokyo Sumo Stadium
Ryogoku Sumo Stadium Kokugikan. If you are in Tokyo a very nice place to visit is Ryogoku (metro Oedo line or JR Sobu line). Here you will find the Kokugikan, The Edo-Tokyo Museum, the Tokyo Memorial Temple for two Great Disasters, the Sumida Hokusai Museum and many other intersting places. Hokusai was born in Ryogoku! Walking by the streets it is easy to see sumo wrestlers casue many Sumo dormitory and schools are located in Ryogoku. Lots of restaurants are held by ex Sumo wrestlers and you can enjoy a chanko nabe. In Ryogoku you can taste and breath the Edo atmosphere! My personal suggestion: do not miss it if you come in Tokyo!
Sumo Wrestling Guide for Tokyo, Japan
Watching a Sumo Wrestling tournament in Tokyo is one of the best events to attend in Japan. I was out of luck 3 times to obtain tickets due to it being sold out so prior to booking my plane tickets I secured myself a sumo ticket. Subscribe to my channel ► for weekly videos!
Reserve YOUR special seat for 2019, last chances!
Photos and extra tips on my blog:
The Sumo Tour Tokyo includes a tour guide, tickets, a translation radio and a Chankonabe dinner after the event for $150 dollars.
The Sumo wrestling matches are being held in January, May & September during a 15-day period at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Sumida, Tokyo. My favourite part was meeting a Sumo wrestler at the station to really get an idea of their size and magnitude.
The growing popularity of Sumo during the Meiji period led to the building of the original Kokugikan in Ryōgoku in 1909. The Japanese army appropriated the facility in World War II, and some tournaments were held outdoors at a baseball stadium.
17 Tips for Sumo Wrestling in Tokyo:
1. Hand-prints of famous Sumo wrestlers can be found at the Ryogoku train station which you can compare to your own hand.
2. There are 3 annual tournaments in Tokyo, each lasting for 15 days in January, May and September, book your tickets months in advance. Sumo is known to sell out fast, so I booked my tickets first before I booked a flight or book with a travel company who will also provide a personal guide.
3. Make sure to obtain a translator radio to enjoy the Sumo match in multiple languages.
4. Prices usually start at $40 dollars and recently there is a special on ringside seats, for $150 dollars you get the chance to have a 400 pound sumo wrestler plant his ass on your face as he hurtles down the stage.
5. Before the match starts, get yourself a nice cold beer and takoyaki balls! Seating quality is phenomenal but don't expect cup holders.
6. There are many different levels in Sumo wrestling with the Yokozuna being at the top, surprisingly there are currently no Japanese Yokozuna, instead they are all Mongolian. You can recognize a Yokozuna by their thick white rope.
7. Go checkout the Sumo museum during the extended break between the junior and senior sumo matches, and if you are lucky you may meet a sumo wrestler as well!
8. At balcony level you'll notice the sumo match-board, the red light indicates the match winners.
9. Before and during the matches you will see people with large banners walking on stages; these are names of the Sumo schools and sponsors.
10. Leave before the end of the event to avoid long waiting lines at the Ryogoku train station.
11 If you do decide to stay you can enjoy a Sumo bow ceremonial dance which officially ends the event.
12. Go enjoy a chankonabe dinner, a Sumo staple dish, which is a rich soup with lots of assorted meats, fish and vegetables.
13. Referees are called gyoji, the top-ranked Gyoji wears a dagger. Traditionally, this is suppose to represent the seriousness of the decisions they must make and their preparedness to commit seppuku if they make a mistake.
14. A Sumo wrestler takes in 20,000 calories a day on average!
15. Sumo wrestlers used to be skinny back in the old days.
16. Traditionally, fans express their disappointment by throwing cushions at the stage.
17. As you noticed in the video above; there are currently many foreigners attending Sumo, making it a true international sport.

JAPANTRIP 「Ryogoku - Sumo Town 」Sumida-ku, Tokyo【東京墨田区両国】
Ryogoku (両国, Ryōgoku) is a district of Tokyo where the sumo stadium, many sumo stables, chanko restaurants and other sumo related attractions can be found. It is the center of the sumo world. Sumo events have been staged in this area since a long time before, but until the beginning of the 20th century, sumo tournaments were held outdoors at shrines and temples.

Sumo Match at the Kokugikan in Tokyo 両国国技館で相撲
I was lucky to get tickets to a preseason sumo tournament at the Kokugikan in Sumida, Tokyo. This was my first time going to a match so I wasn't too sure what to expect. The matches start pretty early so I noticed only the hardcore fans were there at the beginning. On this day the matches lasted about 7 hours. You should purchase your tickets early, since they usually sell out. During the matches you're free to eat and drink. They sell food at the Kokugikan, but the custom is to bring your own food and drinks.
I found it interesting that the matches only last a matter of seconds. Most of the match is a traditional ceremony of greeting the other player and showing them respect before the match starts. In all, I thought it was a great time and I can't wait to go to my next match.
