Azumazeki Stable

Azumazeki Stable occupies a modern building in Katsushika Ward, providing living quarters and training facilities for professional sumo wrestlers throughout the year.

Established in 1986 by Hawaiian-born Takamiyama, this stable made history as the first sumo training facility directed by a foreign-born coach in Japan.

The stable maintained traditional sumo practices where wrestlers followed strict daily routines, including morning training sessions and regulated meal preparation methods.

Visitors could observe morning training sessions at the stable's location at 2-10-13 Shibamata, Katsushika Ward, until its closure in April 2021.

The stable produced Akebono, who became the first foreign-born wrestler to reach the highest rank of yokozuna in sumo history.
