Ryōgoku Kokugikan, Indoor arena in Yokoami, Tokyo, Japan
Ryōgoku Kokugikan accommodates 11,098 spectators and functions as the central venue for professional sumo wrestling tournaments in Tokyo throughout the year.
The current structure, inaugurated in 1985, represents the third iteration of the arena following its predecessors from 1909 and the post-war Kuramae facility.
The facility maintains three annual grand sumo tournaments in January, May, and September, preserving centuries of Japanese wrestling traditions.
Located one minute from Ryogoku Station on the JR Sobu Line, the arena includes the Sumo Museum and traditional tea houses for refreshments.
Two Inari shrines stand at the main entrance, where wrestlers and spectators make offerings for safety and success during tournaments.
