About

Ryogoku is sumo's home ground, and this information center on 1F of Ryogoku Edo Noren (a converted station building with a full-size sumo ring in its food hall) is the place to plan around it. Staff speaking Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean advise on the Kokugikan, sumo stable morning practice etiquette, chanko-nabe restaurants, the Hokusai Museum and the riverside. It sells products made in Sumida, and the building has an ATM, toilets and free Wi-Fi. During the January, May and September Tokyo tournaments it stays open an hour later, until 19:00.
