About Ryogoku Kokugikan

Ryōgoku Kokugikan, commonly known as Ryōgoku Sumo Hall, sits in the heart of Tokyo’s Sumida ward and stands as Japan’s national sumo venue. With a capacity of 11,098, this indoor multi-purpose arena hosts the January, May, and September Grand Sumo Tournaments, plus boxing, pro wrestling, concerts, and conventions. The current building, opened in 1985 as the successor to the Kuramae Kokugikan, is well-equipped for a range of configurations and events.

Whether you’re here for sumo or an eclectic lineup of shows, we’ve got you covered with practical details, transport tips, and trusted hotel and dining recommendations to help you plan a smooth visit.

Plan your visit with reliable transit options: the venue is a short 1-minute walk from JR Ryōgoku Station on the Sobu Line and about a 5-minute walk from Toei Oedo Line Ryōgoku Station (Exit A3). There is no on-site parking, so consider convenient public transit or nearby parking options. Seating configurations vary by event, with tamari (ringside) and masu (4-person boxes) on the first floor and arena-style seating on the second floor. For the best stay, explore nearby hotels such as Dai-ichi Hotel Ryogoku, Ryogoku View Hotel, and The Gate Hotel Ryogoku, all within easy reach.

We’ll help you secure your seats for the next big event at this historic venue—whether you’re chasing sumo glory or a gripping boxing night, we’ve got you covered with easy, no-fuss ticket access and trusted local recommendations.
