Show for Tourists Only

Just understand that this show is for tourists. The actors are OK, but it is not an authentic Japanese experience.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback with us. We are very sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations. While our show draws inspiration from traditional Japanese arts, our intention is to create a fun and engaging performance that sparks interest in Kabuki and Japanese culture, rather than to provide a strictly traditional or authentic theater experience. We sincerely appreciate your kind words about our performers. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will continue to improve the content and presentation of our show, with the hope of helping more people discover and enjoy Kabuki and Japanese culture. Thank you again for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. Best regards,

Too Much Kabuki, Not Enough Ninja

I REALLY wanted to like this experience. My family was on a high from an elite sumo show the night before and we wanted to do another show during our Tokyo trip. This was highly rated so it seemed like an easy decision. It was kind of boring pretty quickly. It’s billed as an 80 minute show but it’s more like 50 minutes and then some audience participation parts. In that main 50 minute show, there isn’t any fighting for the first 38 minutes. It’s just music and filler. Once they start fighting, it’s very unrealistic. They don’t clang swords or anything. They explain that it’s against kabuki tradition to have the prop swords touch, but it makes for a bad show. I found out later in the night that my wife didn’t like it either. My kids said it had too much music. Beers were $10 which is higher than most of Tokyo. The people were really nice, and I hope they do well, but we just didn’t enjoy it. I wouldn’t do it again or recommend it.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and constructive feedback about your family's visit. We are truly sorry to hear that our show fell short of your expectations, especially following such an amazing evening at the sumo show the night before. We appreciate your honest observations regarding the pacing of the performance, the balance between the music and action, and the total duration including the interactive segments. While our sword-fighting choreography follows specific theatrical traditions where prop blades do not make contact to emphasize graceful movement over impact, we completely understand how this artistic choice—and the long build-up prior to the action—felt underwhelming and unrealistic for your family. We also take note of your feedback regarding our beverage pricing and the overall value of the experience for families visiting Tokyo. Hearing that your wife and children also felt disappointed is tough for us, but it highlights areas where we need to improve our production, pacing, and clear communication about what guests can expect. Thank you so much for your kind words regarding our hospitable staff despite your disappointment. We truly appreciate your warmth toward our team, and we will use your comments to carefully review and refine our performance and services. Best regards,
