Michinoku stable, Sumo training facility in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
The training stable functions as both a residence and practice facility where sumo wrestlers develop their skills through daily intense training sessions.
Established in 1974 by former maegashira Hoshikabuto, the stable operated until April 2024, when it closed and distributed its wrestlers to other facilities.
The stable maintains traditional Japanese sumo practices, including morning training routines, communal living arrangements, and structured hierarchical relationships among wrestlers.
Visitors can observe morning training sessions from designated areas, following specific protocols and maintaining silence during practice to respect the athletes.
In 2019, the stable expanded by absorbing all personnel from Izutsu stable, including yokozuna Kakuryū, reaching a peak of 15 active wrestlers.
