Recommended for watching sumo wrestling
- The hotel is conveniently located just a minute's walk from the Toei Oedo Line station, making it convenient for sightseeing at the Ryogoku Kokugikan Sumo Hall. Chanko nabe is available as an option, so it will be well received by foreigners. The venue is crowded, so we recommend making reservations early.DERNIER's answer (Posted on:2017/6/18)

Ryogoku Inn
- If you are going to watch sumo wrestling, I think it is best to stay at a hotel near Ryogoku. The hotel I recommend is the Daiichi Hotel Ryogoku. Many sumo tourists use this hotel. You won't be waiting for the wrestlers, but if you leave a little early and wait in front of the Kokugikan, you will be able to meet the wrestlers.はるか's answer (Posted on:2017/5/24)

Close to Kokugikan
- If you're planning on going, it's a good idea to stay near the Ryogoku Kokugikan. If you're lucky, you might even be able to see the wrestlers in action. The recommended hotel is the Daiichi Hotel Ryogoku. It's a classic hotel for sumo fans.びびお's answer (Posted on:2017/4/26)

I recommend it.
- This hotel is located very close to Ryogoku Station. It has large beds for foreigners. You can also eat chanko nabe. It is especially recommended because it is hard to find a hotel with a spacious bed for foreigners.やっちゃん's answer (Posted on:2017/4/ 1)

It's just a short distance from the Kokugikan Sumo Hall.
- It's located very close to the Ryogoku Kokugikan, so it's very accessible. As it's a city hotel, it has great facilities and I think foreigners will also find it comfortable. Also, the Edo Tokyo Museum next to the hotel is a wonderful facility. Please do visit it.おかか99's answer (Posted on:2017/4/ 2)

There is a sumo pack
- This hotel is located right in front of the Toei Oedo Line Ryogoku Station exit, and is about a 5-minute walk from Ryogoku Kokugikan. It's convenient for watching tournaments. You can also enjoy chanko nabe at the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel, and the view of the Sumida River and Skytree is amazing.歴史大好き's answer (Posted on:2017/3/31)

You can enjoy the Japanese atmosphere
- When you enter the hotel lobby, you will see a large mikoshi (portable shrine) on display. The interior, which gives off a sense of Japanese culture, is sure to please foreigners. If you stay in a room facing Sensoji Temple, you can see the Skytree and Sensoji Temple is also nearby. I think it will be a perfect experience for sightseeing in Japan.ちび's answer (Posted on:2017/4/ 8)

Japanese and Western
- I recommend the Asakusa View Hotel, which has a wonderful balance of Japanese and Western styles. The area is filled with old-fashioned Japanese atmosphere and streetscapes, including Sensoji Temple, so I think your foreign friends will enjoy it. There are no tall obstructions nearby, so the view from the hotel is amazing. You'll be impressed by how clear the view is. Why not relax at this hotel after your sumo experience?エイム's answer (Posted on:2017/4/ 4)

Long bed
- If you are a foreigner, you will probably arrive at Japan via Haneda or Narita airports. If so, I recommend the Royal Park Hotel, located next to Hakozaki Air Terminal. This hotel offers long beds that are comfortable even for tall foreigners.なな's answer (Posted on:2017/4/10)

You will be surprised by the attentive service at such a reasonable price.ヤギヌマ's answer (Posted on:2017/12/ 1)
