Kitanoumi stable, Sumo training stable in Kiyosumi, Tokyo, Japan
Kitanoumi stable, renamed Yamahibiki in 2015, is a professional sumo training facility and residence for wrestlers in Tokyo. The venue combines training areas and living quarters where competitors live together and prepare for matches.
The facility was founded in 1985 by a former yokozuna wrestler named Kitanoumi. Over time, it absorbed two other stables, which strengthened its position in Tokyo's sumo world.
This stable is a place where daily life follows strict customs and rules passed down through generations. The wrestlers live together as one community, sharing meals and training routines that shape their lives as professionals.
The facility is close to Kiyosumi-shirakawa Station and reachable on foot within a few minutes. Check in advance whether training sessions are open for visitors to watch.
Many wrestlers here incorporate the character 北 (kita) in their ring names as a tribute to the founder Kitanoumi. This naming tradition reflects the strong connection between the facility and its origin.
