The July place of the sumo wrestling is coming to an end, and I'm worried about winning. I love sumo wrestling, so I go to Kokugikan every place.

As you know in Chuo-ku, there is [Arashio Room] in Hamacho, so of course I also support wrestlers in the room. Motoo Kunirai, who loved his personality during the active era, became a new master and inherited the room, so I feel even more familiar.

By the way, looking back on the history of sumo, during the Edo period, it was held in the precincts of famous temples and shrines as shrines and temples's sumo wrestling. In Edo, Hachimangu Shrine in Fukagawa and Kaikoin in Honjo were the two bests. But it is also held in other places. For example, Kanda Myojin and Shiba Shinmei Shrine are the same.

In the current Chuo-ku, it was also held at [Hie-jinja Shrine resting place of portable shrines] (currently Nihonbashi Hie-jinja Shrine). At that time, "Kayabacho Yakushi" was owned on the same site, and it was a much larger precinct than it is now, so it would have been able to respond to sumo performances. Since it is much more in the city center than the headquarters and Fukagawa, I guess that many people came for a walk.

It is also interesting to walk around Kayabacho while following such a history.
