Asageiko, morning practice, happens in the stables around Ryogoku and starts early. You watch from the side in silence, no flash and no chatter, while the wrestlers train hard for hours. A guide handles the etiquette and the access, since most stables don’t take walk-ins.
Compare Ginza’s lively sumo show with hands-on morning-style training, including what each plan involves, food caveats, and booking tips.
