Visit Eko-in Temple Visit Eko-in Temple, a historic Buddhist temple deeply connected to sumo. For over a century, these sacred grounds hosted Tokyo’s main sumo tournaments, commemorated by the “Chikara-zuka” (Mound of Strength) — where wrestlers still come to pray for power and success. Founded in 1657, the temple remains a peaceful place that reflects the spiritual heart of Japan’s national sport.

Please note: guided explanations are not allowed inside Edo-Noren; guests will explore independently, and the guide will explain afterward.
