Ryōgoku (両国) is a neighborhood in Sumida, Tokyo. It is surrounded by various neighborhoods in Sumida, Chūō, and Taitō wards: Yokoami, Midori, Chitose, Higashi Nihonbashi, and Yanagibashi.
In 1659, the Ryōgoku Bridge was built, spanning the Sumida River just upstream of its confluence with the Kanda River. Its name, meaning "two provinces," came from its joining Edo (the forerunner of Tokyo in Musashi Province) and Shimōsa Province. The neighborhood derived its name from that of the bridge.
The Forty-seven Ronin avenged the death of their lord, Asano Naganori, by breaking into the mansion of his enemy, Kira Yoshinaka, in 1703. Part of the mansion has been preserved in a public park in Ryōgoku.
Ryōgoku Station opened in 1904, bringing rail transportation to the area.
It is regarded as the heartland of professional sumo. Most training stables or heya are based there. The first Ryōgoku Kokugikan stadium for sumo was completed in 1909. The present one was built in 1985 in the Yokoami neighborhood north of Ryōgoku. Three of professional sumo's six annual official tournaments take place there.
Ryōgoku Kokugikan (両国国技館, Ryōgoku Kokugikan), also known as Ryougoku Sumo Hall, is an indoor sporting arena located in the Yokoami neighborhood (bordering to the Ryōgoku neighborhood) of Sumida, one of the 23 wards of Tokyo in Japan, next to the Edo-Tokyo Museum. It is the third building built in Tokyo associated with the name kokugikan. The current building was opened in 1985 and has a capacity of 13,000 people. It is mainly used for sumo wrestling tournaments (honbasho) and hosts the Hatsu (new year) honbasho in January, the Natsu (summer) honbasho in May, and the Aki (autumn) honbasho in September. It also houses a museum about sumo. The venue is also used for other indoor events, such as boxing, pro wrestling, and music concerts. In past years, it has hosted the finals of New Japan Pro Wrestling's annual G1 Climax tournament as well as the Invasion Attack and King of Pro-Wrestling events. On July 4, 2015, WWE hosted its The Beast in the East event in the arena.
Sumo (相撲, sumō) is a competitive full-contact wrestling sport where a rikishi (wrestler) attempts to force another wrestler out of a circular ring (dohyō) or into touching the ground with anything other than the soles of the feet. The characters 相撲 literally mean "striking one another".
The sport originated in Japan, the only country where it is practiced professionally. It is generally considered a gendai budō (a modern Japanese martial art), though this definition is misleading as the sport has a history spanning many centuries. Many ancient traditions have been preserved in sumo, and even today the sport includes many ritual elements, such as the use of salt purification, from the days when sumo was used in the Shinto religion. Life as a wrestler is highly regimented, with rules laid down by the Japan Sumo Association. Most sumo wrestlers are required to live in communal "sumo training stables", known in Japanese as heya, where all aspects of their daily lives—from meals to their manner of dress—are dictated by strict tradition.

Ryogoku bustles with parties for viewing the blooming cherry blossoms in spring along the Sumida-gawa River and is animated with firework exhibitions in summer. This town has two major symbols: Ryogoku Kokugikan (sumo stadium), with its large copper-sheeted roof (shaped like a square with rounded corners), and the Edo-Tokyo Museum, best described as "enormous" with its height of over 62 meters and its appearance of a high-floored storehouse. A realistic diorama in the museum and the sumo wrestlers add to the "old town charm" of Edo, and the architectures also add to this feel.The Edo-Tokyo Museum provides a glimpse into both past and present Tokyo. The permanent exhibition rooms, named Edo Zone and Tokyo Zone are superb. Edo Zone reproduces the town during the Edo Period (1603-1867) by uti...

Chankonabe (ちゃんこ鍋) is a Japanese sumo wrestling food. Check out my full Tokyo travel and food guide here: http://migrationology.com/2014/03/tokyo-travel-guide-for-food-lovers/ When I was in Tokyo, unfortunately it was not during the time of the year when sumo wrestling fights taking place in the city. However, that still doesn't mean that you can't go to the sumo area of Tokyo and walk around and of course eat. So one day we headed over to Ryogoku and first we went to the sumo stadium, where we walked around the small but free museum. And that's where I found the "sumo food map" - which happens to be available to any tourist or anybody who grabs it at the stadium. I was pretty thrilled, after walking around for a few more minutes, I studied the map, and decided to walk around the neighbo...
