Hiroshima Folk Performing Arts

Our Hiroshima Folk Performing Arts comes from a collective of dedicated Japanese performers who specialise in the local form of performing art called Kagura. This traditional Japanese entertainment dates back hundreds of years and is orientated around the beliefs of multiple gods. Their cultural shows are tailored to international audiences with English narration and subtitles as a means of sharing Japanese culture and heritage. 

The Hiroshima Folk Performing Arts group currently have seven different full-length plays available, each with their own mythical storylines and acted out by the Japanese performers all dressed in fantastic high quality costumes and accompanied by live musicians. The performances are fast and energetic with acrobatics, theatrics and they’re all very colourful making them very exciting for the guests as well as including audience participation with the Japanese performers run through the crowds to get everyone clapping and cheering.

The engaging cultural shows are perfect for international guests as they are fully narrated, followed by a Q&A and even offer the opportunity for photo sessions with the Japanese performers and costumes.
