Visiting · Practice viewing is not open to the general public. The stable holds practice-viewing sessions from time to time only for supporters' club (koenkai) members, on set dates and times, because space is limited; the same applies at regional-tournament lodgings. Individual membership is 1,500 yen per month (1 share) or 3,000 yen per month (1 share or more), signed up via Kaihipay; corporate membership is 100,000, 300,000, 500,000, 1,000,000 or 2,000,000 yen per year, via Google Form. Non-member guests are not accepted, except that members with several shares may bring as many guests as shares, and children of elementary school age or younger accompany free. The pages give no times and no photography or silence rules.

The stable has two dohyo so wrestlers can train without waiting.

The homepage motto is 'From a yokozuna, a yokozuna'; the head Kisenosato was the 72nd yokozuna and his disciple Onosato became the 75th.
