Arashio stable

荒汐部屋

Arashio stable is in Nihonbashi-Hamacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. It was opened in June 2002 by former komusubi Oyutaka, who branched off from Tokitsukaze stable, and in February 2020 former maegashira Sokokurai took it over. Its head is Arashio Eikichi, who wrestled as Sokokurai and reached maegashira 2 at his highest. According to Japanese Wikipedia, the stable belongs to the Tokitsukaze ichimon. No yokozuna or ozeki is listed for the stable on its own roster page or in Japanese Wikipedia. Visitors may watch morning practice from outside through a street-facing window.

Visiting · Visitors may watch morning practice from outside through the large street-facing window, not inside the stable, about 7:30 to 9:00 AM. The stable's page mentions no reservation, introduction or fee. Visitors of any gender are welcome. Check the stable's online calendar before coming, as practice can be cancelled suddenly; do not call about the practice schedule, as voicemail messages are not answered. Rules: be quiet; no flash or light-emitting when photographing; no eating or drinking outside; do not sit on neighbours' stairs. As of October 2026 there is no practice in Tokyo until December because the stable has left for the Kyushu tournament.
