The museum is barrier-free, so even those in wheelchairs can enjoy the exhibits in comfort.

Restaurant: Chanko Kirishima (Ryogoku Main Branch)

This famous restaurant was opened by former ozeki Kirishima with the desire to "let more people experience the traditional taste of sumo." The secret soup, made by slowly simmering chicken bones and pork bones, is light yet rich, so delicious you won't be able to stop eating.
