experiences
Watch, Dance, Raise a Toast!


Meet at Hatago COEDOYA. Begin by introducing yourselves to fellow participants and listening to an explanation about Sato-kagura. Subsequently, we’ll proceed on foot to a hidden practice venue, just about 5 minutes away.

Amidst a solemn atmosphere, begin by observing the performance. With a detailed pre-show explanation covering the story and key points, you’re well-prepared. This enables you to understand the characters and the performance, making it an enjoyable experience.

Dancing adorned with genuine masks is a unique encounter, made even more luxurious by the live performance. This rare opportunity not only lets you experience the essence of Japanese culture but also allows you to connect with it through gestures like the bow of gratitude when donning the masks. The final exchange with the performers is also a highlight of this tour, offering a meaningful way to close the experience.

I believe there are a thousand ways to enjoy travel, seen through a thousand different perspectives. The tours I organize offer a unique experience that can only be fully appreciated by being in that specific place. While history and information can be found online, the opportunity to engage in conversations and connect with local people is an experience unparalleled elsewhere.
