If you're in Hiroshima on a Wednesday evening, the Kagura show is a must-see! It's only 1000 yen to attend a well put together spectacle for both locals and tourists alike. Their staff speak English and they even have a screen on the side that translates what the performers are saying, so you can follow the play. You'll also get a leaflet before the show that explains the main storyline. When we went, the flute player was also absolutely phenomenal! I honestly can't recommend the Hiroshima Kagura enough because it really shattered our expectations.

Hiroshima Kagura has a long history and is built on the ingenuity and respect for tradition of the Kagura troupe.

Many people think that traditional performing arts are difficult, but Hiroshima Kagura is different.

Everyone claps their hands and cheers in their own way, and all of that is what makes Hiroshima Kagura great.

Please come and see it once!! 1000 yen (for same-day tickets) to see one performance is outrageous...I would like to spend a little more...

Although it is a weekday, Wednesday, please come and see it once!!

Best surprise of Hiroshima! We went on a whim after seeing a poster at the station. It was easy to get tickets from the 7eleven store, although there were also still tickets available at the venue on the night itself. It said the show started at 7, but be there earlier because in our case, there was a sort of 15 minute pre-show including the goat mascotte. Translations are available, both in a summary beforehand and on a screen during the show. By the way, Google shows the entrance on the side, but there is a nicer front entrance.

Thank you for coming to Hiroshima Kagura Regular Performances. We are happy you enjoyed the show. Every Wednesday, a different kagura troupe comes in from the countryside to perform.The kagura troupe you saw was from Kitahiroshima Town.Kitahiroshima town tourism ambassador “Moutaro Hanada” (He is a cow) came that day and livened up with dance before the show.He doesn't always come, so you were lucky to see him! We appreciate your comment!We look forward to seeing you again.

I went to see Hiroshima Kagura, a traditional performing art of Hiroshima. I have the opportunity to see Kagura at festivals in Hiroshima, but I was able to watch it in a comfortable environment in the hall, and the dance was so powerful that the time flew by! A paper explaining the plot (in Japanese or English) is distributed at the entrance, so even first-time viewers can enjoy it. Although taking photos with tripods, video cameras, or flash is prohibited, I was able to take photos with my smartphone or digital camera in the audience seats, so it will be a memorable experience. After the performance, I was able to try on Kagura costumes and take photos with the members of the troupe, which was very exciting, and the members of the troupe were fun and service-minded, so I enjoyed it until the end. I hope that not only people from Hiroshima, but also people from Japan and abroad will come to Hiroshima to watch Kagura and enjoy it. Currently, it is held once a week, but if it was held twice a week, I think it would be easier to go and see it.

I went there hoping to see traditional Hiroshima performing arts, and it was wonderful. I was instantly drawn in by the dynamic and powerful dance, the gorgeous costumes, and the quick mask and costume changes. I think it was enjoyable even if I didn't understand the story very well, but I was also glad that I was given a pamphlet explaining the program before it started, which helped me understand it better. After the show, I was able to take a commemorative photo with the Kagura troupe and try on a Kagura costume, which is an experience you can't get anywhere else, and I enjoyed it very much until the end. I was able to see it after sightseeing in other places, and the performance lasted about an hour, so it was just the right time to go for dinner after it was over. I was very satisfied, but the price was very reasonable, and I think it was good value for money. I was so satisfied that I wanted to see it again, but it seemed that the children and foreign tourists also enjoyed it, and it was very impressive to see them taking commemorative photos with big smiles on their faces.

This time, I watched the Yoshida Kagura Troupe's "Takiyashahime". It was my first time to watch an entire Kagura performance, but I was overwhelmed by the powerful dancing, and the hour flew by. Before the performance, a paper with the synopsis and character introduction was distributed, so I didn't have to worry about not understanding the content, and I was simply drawn into the dance unfolding on stage. The highlight was the quick mask change, which happened in an instant and was amazing, and I didn't know what had happened. In addition, at the end of the performance, there was time to try on the costumes and take photos, so it was a very valuable experience to be able to see and touch the gorgeous costumes and masks up close. I think it will be enjoyed by many people, both from Japan and abroad.

This was definitely one of my highlights while in Hiroshima and was a perfect way to experience Hiroshima culture while supporting the local artists of a traditional art form. The costumes were so unique and colorful, and the combination of live music created a wonderful atmosphere that transported me to a different world. After the performance, attendees had the opportunity to take pictures with the performers in costume and see them up close. Information and announcements were clearly provided in both Japanese and English, and there was a section for English attendees with a screen that displayed English translations. Tickets were only 1000 yen each, which I thought was a great bargain for the cultural experience and opportunity to leave with pictures with the performers. Wonderful!

Great experience! We didn't know about Kagura and we are super happy to have discovered it!
There is an introductory sheet in English and short subtitles during the performance to understand the dialogues (with an accessible level of English).
The costumes are magnificent. We are immersed in the story between the lively music (by 4 musicians on stage) and the dances.
We were able to try on the outfits at the end (very heavy).

Seats to view the subtitles cannot be reserved. We arrived around 5:15 p.m. to be sure of getting tickets but the room was more than big enough for everyone.

Asahigaoka Kagura Troupe's performance is impressive.
There were many foreigners there.
There was also a quick mask change.
For first-time viewers, I think the new Kagura, with its powerful performance and speed, is better.

I've been watching Kagura since I was little, and I think it's in the top 10 in Hiroshima.
A Kagura troupe I want to see again and again.

Went to see the performance of Yamata-no-Orochi (the eight headed demon snake), it was truly amazing, the music and energy of the performance was just breathtaking. Everyone in the audience young and old had a fantastic time.
This is a must when you Hiroshima, the city has so much more to off than what happened on that yragic day in 1945.
