What to expect
Kyoto is a city loved by a wide range of generations, with truly diverse facets. As we propose a new symbol for Kyoto’s nights, we are committed to a program that can be flexibly chosen, rather than sticking to a single performance. We offer performances with different concepts depending on the time slot. You can choose the best way to spend your time according to the scene. Experience an immersive feeling, enveloped in sound, in an ultra-close-up theater where you can even feel the performers’ breathing. The bar offers a selection of drinks and light meals, and you can chat on the rooftop while feeling the night breeze. We deliver an unforgettable Kyoto night.
●Part 1: 7:00 PM Performance “HIBIKI” <An energetic live show where the audience and performers become one> It’s entertainment that draws in everyone who watches. A single strike that cuts through the silence, vibrations that envelop the whole body, and straightforward pleasure. Before you know it, children and adults alike are all smiling. It’s an addictive performance where you feel a sense of unity as if diving into a wave of sound.
●Part 2: 9:00 PM Performance “YUME” <A night performance stage where you can immerse yourself in a fantastical world> Powerful sounds in the silence of the ancient capital. Stillness and motion, light and shadow. Deep rhythms overlap with the drama created by contrast. Japanese instruments and visuals invite you into a fantastical world. This ethereal stage, where the afterglow of the extraordinary lingers forever, is a must-see.

A high energy and vivacious performance. Good family event if the weather is not great. The theatre is in the Avanti building next to Kyoto station so it is easy to get to. In the same building there is a floor for Japanese subculture merchandise, a Donki shop with a ton of things to see. So you can spend a late afternoon there, have something to eat and then head to the theatre. The drums are really powerful, so you might want to use your noise cancelling ear buds. I still enjoyed it and would go again as it is nicely put together. ease of booking on Klook:
There wasn't a dull moment; the sound and light effects were fantastic, and it was highly entertaining. The musicians clearly enjoyed their performance on stage and were very active in engaging the audience. It's definitely worth seeing.
This was a wonderful experience. A great, energetic, and interactive performance! It was one of our highlights of our Japan trip. Our 12 year old liked it so much that he wanted to join the longer show later in the evening. I would definitely go and see them again if I had the chance!
The sound and light effects were excellent, and the performers were very passionate. However, it leaned more towards a pop style with strong entertainment value, which differs from traditional taiko drumming performances.
It was truly wonderful! The performance was great. After booking with Klook, I realized on the day I was leaving that I hadn't received the QR code. I contacted customer service, and although I still didn't receive the QR code that day, I went up to inquire before opening time. Luckily, they gave me a ticket, so I went back downstairs to walk around (since it wasn't time yet). Be aware that some elevators do not go to the drum. There's a Don Quijote nearby, so you can go shopping after the show (don't forget Klook has discount coupons!).
Amazing!! So much fun and marvelled at the talent, strength and multi-talented cast. Highly recommend this if you’re in Kyoto
This was a really high energy performance! The music never stopped for the whole hour.
bought tickets through Klook for the Sunday June 28th show, we got to the venue at 6:20pm for 7:00pm show.. it was closed.. there was no show… we don’t know what happened but not cool that we paid the money for 3 people and had no show to watch.
