Top Tokyo Shows & Performances - page 2

Hidecki reached out a couple of days to ask what landmarks we wanted to see, and then came up with a great itinerary. Hidecki was an amazing guide, he was brilliant in imparting the history of the areas. Cannot thank him enough. This was a great way to start our trip.

If you only take one tour in Tokyo, it should be this one! The food was amazing and the exposure to many different kinds of popular bar drinks gave a terrific exposure to the drinking culture. The food was a great way to diversify your pallet, too! Our tour guide, Yuki, was the best that we have experienced in Japan thus far, and was very patient and kind when answering questions. Highly recommended! You won't go hungry and you'll enjoy plenty of drinks!

Akiko was a warm, considerate, generous, funny, informative, experienced and kind tour guide—one of the very best we’ve ever had. She took us to the Tsukiji Shrine first, then through the market where she skillfully navigated us through a very thick crowd, always finding us comfortable places to eat astonishingly good food. My favorite was tasting dozens of tiny snacks—codfish with lemon, dried kelp, wasabi sesame seeds, etc at half a dozen stalls—we bought bags of snacks to bring home. She had prepared laminated cards to teach about wagyu beef, and Japanese etiquette when dining and particularly when eating sushi. She also treated us to coffee when we ran slightly ahead of our sushi reservation—a tiny back of the store coffee bar. We learned so much, tasted extraordinary food, learned about the life of both the outer and inner market, felt like we had made a new friend, and left with several handmade gifts that she had prepared for us. We will ever forget this lovely experience, the highlight of our three days in Tokyo.

Tomomi is an excellent local guide who maneuvers around the interests of the guests and any needs that may arise. She and our driver Toshi who is an experienced driver navigated many hidden venues to capture a view of Mt. Fuji, a local sake brewery and an excellent local winery. Many thanks to them for an excellent day despite the rain.

This was a great production put on by the performers. They were very energetic, enthusiastic, and highly expressive. This is a speechless production so I recommend reviewing the website for a short synopsis of what story is, especially if you aren't familiar with Japanese culture. The variety of acts and dances were enjoyable however I would like to help some guests set their expectations. The theater is intimate and you get an hour before the show to take photos, meet some of the performers, and order drinks or food. Food and drink service stop just before the performance. The performers use ALL available space in the theater which brings the show closer to the audience. If you have sensory issues, they offer headphones, ear plus, or sunglasses (there's a laser light show that ended up being really cool). As I'm currently writing this, dubstep seems to be popular in Japan and has made it's way into some of this show so please be prepared. It's not a lot but it caught me off guard. It is a good balance been modern music with traditional dancing and touching plays. I highly recommend this show if you're looking for something to do in Asakusa - just know more of what your getting into. It is a GREAT show. Also bring some cash if you want to tip the performers at the end!

The show was great for the price. The story line and the show was something I enjoyed. Reservation is recommended because it’s not a big theatre. No food is sold there just drinks. And at the end of the show we were able to take a group photo with the cast.

Easily the best live show I've seen while in Japan. The performance was fantastic and I had an absolute blast! There's solid audience participation, the costumes are amazing, and honestly I think I'm going to go back and see it again before I leave. Included bento box meal was also decent, and drinks were reasonably priced (note: cash only when you get inside though). It isn't crowded either (they keep the audience size managable)... but, oh my word, it's loud lol

Great choice if you want to meet a lot of people and get drunk. The staff are very accommodating but also know how to have fun, so you know you're in good hands. Lots of alcohol involved, so you can trust that your glass will never be empty. I went with a friend and left with many more, so I wholeheartedly endorse this event if you want to have a fun night and expand your horizons!
