Based on Japanese mythology and classical literature, performers in gorgeous costumes dance gracefully to the accompaniment of lively music. English subtitles are also available, allowing visitors from overseas to experience traditional culture in a more intimate setting.

Impressive! ✨️

5.00From the second I entered I felt very welcome. The staff are super lovely and dedicated to everyone, audience and performers, enjoying themselves and having a good night. It is less than an hour of performance which suits my short attention span perfectly - It is a pretty nonstop show, especially for the musicians who are playing start to finish, and the performers are in very elaborate, heavily layered outfits. They all made it look effortless somehow, very impressive! I'm sure I would have melted and fallen off stage in the first 2 minutes. 10/10 I will definitly come to see another show here next time I'm in Hiroshima.
Amazing but too short!

4.00Very well organized, with locker on site, lots of staff speaking enough English, summary of the story to understand, subtitles in English. The possibility to take pictures at the end with actors and costumes is a good idea, but concretely no actor speaks English and the photos are taken on the line without pause or time to talk to them. The show itself is impressive, the sloping steps as in amphitheaters allow everyone to see. Do not miss, especially for an affordable price.
Entertaining, interesting, inclusive!

5.00My husband and I attended the performance of “Yamata No Orochi” and absolutely loved it! The costumes are so intricate and fascinating, the performers are passionate, talented, and energetic, and the MC who additionally supplies English translation, Hitomi, is friendly and very professional in her translations. We felt very welcome! Highly recommended attending this activity if you’re in Hiroshima, it is authentically Japanese and gives a fantastic opportunity to learn more of the cultural practises in terms of plays/folklore. Thank you Hitomi-san!
It was a very fun and...
