this Kagura theater is one of the highlights of my Japan trip. Kudos to the Hiroshima theater community for keeping this art form alive. Performing that time was the Moda Kagura Troupe. The costumes and masks were amazing so were the performers and musicians.
good performance. klook make it easy to book. just scan the QR code from the voucher and enter the theatre. think worth buying the ticket for the performance to understand more about Japan culture. The culture Center location is easy to find within walking distance from Orizuru tower and easy access to the streetcar return trip to my hotel near Hiroshima station.
Last night, I had the privilege of experiencing the traditional Japanese Kagura performance, "Shoki," up close at the Hiroshima Prefectural Culture Center. It was truly an unforgettable feast for the eyes and ears! 👏 The performers, adorned in vibrantly colored and intricately woven costumes, and wearing lifelike masks, made a powerful entrance. Their dance movements were sharp and forceful, with clear rhythm, and every turn and wave of their sleeves exuded professionalism and traditional charm. The accompanying live band was also indispensable, providing a vibrant rhythm and melodious tunes, which, in harmony with the performance's context, were sometimes rousing and sometimes delicate, making the entire performance deeply moving and full of tension! It's such a blessing to be able to personally experience the art of Kagura, which is so rich in history and culture.✨
We absolutely loved this preformance. It was a wonderful way to experience some Hiroshima culture and art. The show was about an hour long and included singing, musical instruments, acting, and dance. The costumes were beautiful. Definitely reccomend.
A complete MUST SEE. If you are lucky enough to see this show please do! It was incredible from start to finish. If has truly been one of the highlights of Japan. Perfomers were incredibly nice and we also had an opportunity to take photos at the end.
An absolutely fantastic experience. Great music, amazing costumes, with costume changes between acts. A very interesting play. I can only recommend it! Price: Absolutely fair. Easy booking on Klook: Easy entry, seats were reserved for various providers. So you knew exactly which row you were allowed to sit in.
the performance was absolutely fantastic! the costumes are stunning, the quick changes were seamless and the show itself was captivating and exciting!
It's fun! The guide is in English, there are English subtitles, and there are many foreigners. It's a collaboration of Japanese audio and English subtitles. Although it's a small-scale show, you can still see its splendor even without elaborate stage props. Please note that uploading more than 2 minutes to social media is prohibited, but filming is allowed. There's a separate line for Klook reservations. Since there weren't many Korean reviews, I decided to write a detailed one. It says it ends at 7:45 PM, but it might finish a little later. It's a show worth seeing.

Guide

  • Kagura troupes from various parts of Hiroshima Prefecture will perform Hiroshima Kagura, a traditional performing art, on a weekly rotating basis.
  • Performers in gorgeous costumes will present elegant dances to rhythmic music, based on themes from Japanese mythology and classical literature.
  • English subtitles will be provided, allowing international visitors to experience traditional culture up close.
  • The backstage tour will take place on stage after the performance, featuring explanations by the troupe members and an interaction session with them. In addition to trying on costumes and masks and taking commemorative photos, you can directly ask questions to the troupe members who have just finished dancing. Enjoy this special experience limited to 10 people.

Kagura, centered in the northwestern part of Hiroshima Prefecture, has evolved into a highly entertaining performance over the years, incorporating various staging elements while still valuing its role as a Shinto ritual. Most of the performed pieces are stories well-known to Japanese people from Kagura, Noh, and Kabuki. By displaying English subtitles on stage, we believe that international visitors can easily understand and experience Japanese culture.
