Yokozuna Chiyonoyama & Chiyonofuji Memorial Museum, Biographical museum in Fukushima Town, Japan.
The memorial museum displays photographs, trophies, championship cups, and National Honor Awards belonging to two distinguished sumo champions from Fukushima Town.
The museum opened in April 1997 to commemorate Chiyonoyama and Chiyonofuji, the 41st and 58th yokozuna wrestlers who achieved numerous victories in Japanese sumo.
The exhibitions present traditional sumo wrestling elements through authentic mawashi belts, ceremonial items, and bronze statues at the entrance of both champions.
Located near the Roadside Station, the museum welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, except during winter closure from December through mid-March.
The facility features exact replicas of both wrestlers' handprints, allowing visitors to compare their hand sizes with these legendary sumo champions.
