In Japan, there is a tradition that says if a sumo wrestler holds a baby, the baby will grow up healthy and strong. When I was a baby, I was held by a former yokozuna (grand champion) named Wajima. Since then, I have rarely been sick and have never been hospitalized. If you have a baby in your family, consider purchasing the “Box Seat B for 4 with Commemorative Photo with Sumo Wrestler” ticket and have your baby held by a sumo wrestler. It might lead to a healthy life, just like mine!
Everyone, take this opportunity to enjoy watching Sumo!
Enjoy Chanko Nabe in Kagurazaka, Shinjuku!
We recommend enjoying “Chanko Nabe” in Kagurazaka. JR Iidabashi Station, the nearest station to Kagurazaka, is only 11 minutes away from JR Ryogoku Station on the JR Sobu Line, with no transfers needed. Kagurazaka has three Chanko Nabe restaurants: “Chanko Kuroshio,” “Kotonofuji,” and “Izakaya Mizumachi with Chanko.” “Chanko Kuroshio” and “Kotonofuji” are authentic restaurants run by former sumo wrestlers from the prestigious Sadogatake stable. Sadogatake stable has a history of over 200 years and has produced yokozuna (grand champions). The current ozeki (champion), Kotozakura, is also a member of the Sadogatake stable.
Enjoying Chanko Nabe in Kagurazaka, which is easily accessible from Ryogoku Kokugikan, is a great option. You can also join our “Izakaya Tour” in Kagurazaka, where we take you to these Chanko Nabe restaurants. Although the menus are in Japanese, our English-speaking guides will assist with translations. Don’t you think it’s a great opportunity to enjoy authentic Chanko Nabe just like the locals?
