Asakusa Diary - The Staff Blog

last Monday&Wednesday, we had sumo tours.

"We are leaving!!"

About 15 guests joined this tour.

We walked to the stadium and when we reached the bridge spanning the Sumida river,
Sky Tree sprang up!!

It is now 274 meters but is still under construction...

As it was so nice weather, it's a perfect day to walk by the river:)

About an hour later, we arrived at the stadium♪
FYI, we never got lost...:P

Let's have a meal before watching sumo!

Do you know Chanko?
It's a special dish for sumo wrestlers, which consists of many kinds of meats,
vegetables and sometimes seafoods cooked together in a soup.
It's available at the sumo stadium for 250 yen♪

Okay, it's time for watching sumo!
We got good seats here.

Actually, it was my first time and I did enjoy with our guests.
It was totally diffrent from TV and I'll definitely go there in May again!

Too tired to walk, we took a bus on our way back...

Just 200 yen from Ryogoku to Asakusa.
