Built in 1929, the historic former Ryogoku Station building has been fully restored, with the old façade kept intact, and now hosts this decidedly nostalgic shopping and restaurant complex opened in November 2016. Based on the underlying concept of 'enjoying Edo-style cuisine', twelve different stalls offer Edo-inspired food, drink and local products. There are also Edo-related events from time to time, so keep your eyes peeled.

Built in 1985, this huge stadium can accommodate over 10,000 visitors. While experiencing the excitement of a sumo tournament is the best way to get a feel for this popular sport, you can also check out the hall on days when no events are scheduled. See the dramatic hanging roof that covers the ring and take photos with sumo-related props.To learn more about the history and culture of this ancient sport, on weekdays you can visit the Sumo Museum on the premises.

This local shrine is dedicated to the deity that initiated sumo i ancient Japan. Tne new Yokozuna champion pays a visit and worships here. The stone statue in the garden is engraved with Yokozuna names.
