Must-See Art and Cultural Hotspots in Japan

Art Festivals & Events

Show-RAKUZA

At tourist attractions such as Tokyo Tower and Kanda Myojin Shrine, regular performances and workshops on rakugo comic storytelling, daikagura acrobatics, wazuma performance, ongyoku songs with shamisen accompaniment, and more are held to create opportunities for people to come in contact with the traditional vaudeville entertainment that Japanese people have loved for generations. In addition, a tour linking rakugo comic storytelling, history (historic sites), and cuisine will be held in Matsushima in Miyagi Prefecture. Going forward, the tour will cover three of Japan's most scenic destinations. Throughout the year, we will promote the appeal of vaudeville entertainment which is full of laughter, surprise, and aesthetic beauty through live demonstrations.
