Ryogoku is best known as the home of sumo, and that history is part of what makes it worth arriving early for. The studio itself is a short walk from Ryogoku Station, reachable directly from central Tokyo.
On the January 2027 tour, you don't need to find the studio yourself. Day 1 (January 3): meet your guide at Ryogoku Station (West Exit) at 10:00. The group starting with the mask making workshop walks over to the studio together, and the group starting with the dropkick practice takes the bus. Day 2 (January 4): meet at Sugamo Station at 10:00.
