Sumo Museum

On the ground floor of Ryōgoku Kokugikan stadium, this small museum displays pictures of all the past yokozuna (top-ranking sumo wrestlers), or, for those who lived before the era of photography, ukiyo-e (woodblock prints). There's also video footage from recent tournaments. During sumo tournaments, the museum is only open to ticket holders; otherwise it's free to enter.
