Sumo Wrestling Museum

The Ryogoku Kokugikan Sumo Wrestling Museum and Arena was located right next door to our Hotel. This picture was taken from my 9th floor hotel balcony. The blue roof in front of the museum is the Ryogoku train station. Additionally, the store "Lawson's" was conveniently located down the street for our evening ice cream runs in the 100 degree heat. Frequently we saw sumo wrestlers walking or riding their bikes in this neighborhood. We could also see them working out on the side of the Arena at 8:30 every morning. The Tokyo Edo museum was also next to the arena.
