 The season of sumo wrestling. On the 9th, the day before the first day, at the Ryogoku Kokugikan, the venue was held, after the ring festival was held to pray for the safety of the place and the success of the performance, the callers dressed in happi coat walked around the sumo room and the streets, and resonated with the sound of a "touching drum" that spoke the mouth of a visitor.

The annual sumo wrestling is held in Tokyo three times a year in January, May, September, and the day before the first day.

In front of the favourite shop, we will tell you the autumn place, read out the first day's efforts loudly with a unique moderation, have a celebration, and head to the next store again.

In the Nihonbashi area, the tour starts at 14:00 Senbikiya Sohonten.

It is a sight of Edo atmosphere and traditional rediscovery.
