I enjoyed the friendly and vibrant atmosphere. The show was incredible and very engaging with audience. Our guides Janine and Liam were awesome and very informative. highly recommend this local experience to anyone!
Unique, fun, and memorable. Great performers and fascinating performance! our first, and it will forever be remembered. different than kabuki theater.
I participated with a friend in the katana and fan dance workshop…what about if not, crazy?!? Everything was magnificent, from wearing the kimono, to choosing your own katana to following the teacher’s instructions. But the real surprise was when they accompanied us to attend a play in the heart of Asakusa. An unforgettable experience! I highly recommend it
