Ryogoku Nigiwai Festival

Cancelled
10:30am – 4:00pm
Free

Ryogoku is a neighborhood with a long history as the center of Japan’s national sport of sumo. It’s also the home to some major museums.

This event, was started to highlight the many points of interest in the area (nigiwai is a word that means prosperity or flourishing) so naturally the festival has multiple locations including the Kokugikan (national sumo stadium), the Edo Tokyo Museum and the Sumida Hokusai Museum.

There will be lots of stalls serving chanko nabe (a staple food of sumo wrestlers – likely served by the wrestlers themselves!), walking tours, stage events and that old favorite of Japanese community festivals—a stamp rally.

Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
