Takasago stable, Sumo training facility in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan

The Takasago stable houses 25 wrestlers who train daily in a traditional wooden building equipped with a practice ring and living quarters.

Established in 1873 by former maegashira Takasago Uragorō, this stable joined the Tokyo Sumo Association in 1878, making it the second oldest active stable.

Wrestlers at Takasago stable follow the naming convention starting with 'asa', meaning morning, connecting them to their training lineage and traditions.

Visitors can observe morning training sessions by advance reservation at the stable, located within 10 minutes walking distance from Honjo-azumabashi Station.

This stable produced six yokozuna champions and welcomed Konishiki, the first non-Japanese wrestler to reach the rank of ōzeki.
