Photographs and handprints of sumo wrestlers greet you when you arrive at Ryogoku Station, and a full-size dohyo is displayed in the adjacent former station building, giving you a sense that this is a "sumo town". In addition, you take a stroll through gardens, where you can feel the Japanese atmosphere, and visit a museum where you can experience the life of people in the Edo period. This course allows you to enjoy Edo culture while sightseeing in modern Tokyo.
*During the Sumo Tournament in January, May and September or when the Sumo Museum is closed, the tour includes The Sumidagawa Terrace Gallery and other tourist spots instead. (You can check the latest information on irregular closed days on the official website.)
