Asahiyama stable

The Asahiyama stable functions as a dedicated training center where professional sumo wrestlers develop their skills through daily morning practice sessions and physical conditioning.

Founded in 1896, this stable achieved prominence by producing the 28th yokozuna Ōnishiki Daigorō in 1918 and maintained operations until its closure in January 2015.

The stable followed traditional sumo protocols where wrestlers lived together, shared meals, and practiced under the guidance of experienced trainers in a structured environment.

Visitors could observe morning training sessions at the stable, located at coordinates 35.783361, 139.971917, by following specific guidelines and schedules.

During the 1970s, the stable recruited six Tongan wrestlers, leading to diplomatic communications with King Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV regarding their status.
