Asakusa Sumo Club

Sumo, Japan's national sport, has been around since the Edo period. It is very popular with foreign tourists visiting Japan but tickets to attend an official Grand Sumo Tournament are very hard to come by. There are also many customs involved in visiting a sumo stable, which can be somewhat intimidating for first-timers. To solve this problem, we are pleased to announce the opening of a new facility in January 2024!
