Just being pedantic, the area north of the Chuo line is actually Yokoami-cho despite several important sites being labeled as "Ryogoku" like the Ryลgoku Kokugikan, the nearby high school, several hotels/stores and even the train station.
The area south of the main rail line is actually Ryogoku-cho. The current Ekลin Temple was the site of the previous centre for sumo in Japan until 1909 when until original Ryลgoku Kokugikan was constructed. The current Ryลgoku Kokugikan was opened for competition in Yokoami in 1985, replacing the use of the Kuramae Kokugikan across the river in Kuramae-cho, Taito ward.
There are a lot of worthwhile spots to visit in that small area, although most people concentrate on the Edo Museum and the sumo.
