🌙 Going home

• •After the day's last bout (uchidashi), Meijo Koen Station gets crowded, so depending on the situation you may be directed to other routes, such as Joshin Station on the Tsurumai Line.
• •The venue has no parking or car drop-off/pick-up area. During the tournament, ride-hailing apps may not be able to dispatch taxis around the venue for a certain period in the early evening, so check the Japan Sumo Association's information in advance.
• •If the weather is nice, we also recommend walking to Sakae through the government district, home to the Aichi Prefectural Government Office and Nagoya City Hall, and then along Otsu-dori.
