【DETAILS】

This is an Attractive JAPAN exclusive plan in which you can enjoy both a stage show and the Hanayashiki amusement park in one (including show admission and one game ticket).  Additional tickets for other park attractions are available for purchase at Hanayashiki.

The leading characters of the traditional stage performance are female dancers called "Hana Furisode." They wear Furisode, the formal costume worn by first-class Japanese women, and perform sophisticated dances. You will be able to experience Hana Furisode, a type of Japanese entertainment slightly different from that of Maiko in Kyoto. You can have your photo taken with Hana Furisode-san dancers after the show.  

The theater director is Isaburo, a dancer active abroad. The aesthetic performance combines music by famous musicians of Japanese musical instruments and the latest technologies, fusing the modern and the traditional into one.

In the amusement park, "Hanayashiki," you can enjoy the "En-nichi" stalls at the summer festival, beloved by Japanese people for ages. You may also enjoy some Japanese games and reminisce on your childhood years (one game ticket is included in the plan). We hope that you make wonderful memories of your time at a Japanese summer festival!
