Hanaregoma stable (放駒部屋, Hanaregoma beya), formerly known as Matsugane stable and Nishonoseki stable, is a stable of sumo wrestlers. It was founded in 1990 as Matsugane stable by Wakashimazu who branched out from the Futagoyama stable. It has produced five top makuuchi division wrestlers; Wakakoshō [ja] (2000), Wakatsutomu (2001), Harunoyama (2004), Shōhōzan (2011) and Ichiyamamoto (2021). After the retirement of Harunoyama in November 2006 the stable had no sekitori until Shōhōzan (then known as Matsutani) reached the jūryō division in March 2010. As of January 2023 it had 8 wrestlers.

In late 2014, the general consensus among those with connections to the Nishonoseki ichimon was that an ichimon so named without a Nishonoseki stable as its head was a misnomer. In accordance with this general opinion, the oyakata of Matsugane stable, which had absorbed support personnel from the defunct Nishonoseki when it closed, decided to revive the name. He switched his Matsugane elder name with the former Tamarikidō's Nishonoseki elder name, thus allowing him to rename the stable. The former Tamarikidō, now known as Matsugane-oyakata, also joined the newly renamed stable.^[1]

In December 2021 the Japan Sumo Association approved the transfer of the stable to Hanaregoma (former sekiwake Tamanoshima); the stable changed its name to Hanaregoma stable accordingly.^[2] Nishonoseki oyakata swapped elder names with former yokozuna Kisenosato, and became Araiso-oyakata.
