Description

Kagura troupes from Hiroshima Prefecture will perform the traditional performing art of "Hiroshima Kagura" on a weekly basis. 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. We occasionally offer backstage tours after the performance, which require an additional fee. These tours include explanations from the performers and an opportunity to interact with them. You can try on costumes and masks, take commemorative photos, and even ask questions directly to the performers after they've finished dancing. If you'd like to learn more about Kagura, please book this plan.

Not to be missed

Fantastic, not-to-be-missed event. The explanation in English at the beginning of the performance was extremely helpful in understanding the action on stage. The performers and the musicians were excellent. Highly recommend. And when you buy through Viator you are guaranteed great seats.

Excellent performance

The Kagura performance was terrific. The performers are very talented and the costumes are amazing. I had never even heard of Kagura before but was looking for a performance while I was here in Hiroshima. Highly, highly recommend. The price is very reasonable and the performance lasts less than 1 hour. It was excellent.

Probably wouldn’t go again.

No what I expected. I thought I was going to see the dragons. It was nice to see the first opening show of the season. It was a little boring but the action scenes were good. It was very considerate for them to have translations on the screen. Cheers and kudos to the musicians and actors.
