  • Experience “a stage where the soul of Japan lives” in Kyoto, Tokyo, Noto, and Osaka

    In Japan, performing arts have been passed down for more than a thousand years.

    Noh and Kyogen (Kyoto's Kongo Noh Theater/Tokyo's National Noh Theater) exude a mysterious beauty, Kabuki (Tokyo's Kabukiza/Osaka's Shochikuza) captivates with gorgeous costumes and performances, Bunraku (Osaka's National Bunraku Theater) develops a unique storytelling style, and the local performing arts of Noto, Wajima, and Tohoku with their powerful folk songs and drums.

    Traditional performing arts are not just entertainment, but a "living cultural heritage" filled with the spirit, history, and aesthetic sense of the Japanese people.

    In addition to watching performances,

    • Behind the scenes tour
    • Dance and drum experience workshop
    • Explanation of costumes and masks
    • After-talk session by speakers

    Experiences that allow you to gain a deeper understanding are also popular.

    Emotions in silence, beautiful gestures, and blank space for sound. Traditional performing arts provide a highlight of your trip, allowing you to experience the core of Japanese culture.
