Step into the fascinating world of Kabuki, one... 2 hours
Step into the fascinating world of Kabuki, one of Japan’s most iconic traditional performing arts, at the historic Aioiza Theater in Mizunami, Gifu. This beautiful wooden playhouse has hosted local Mino Kabuki performances for over a century, preserving the spirit of community theater that continues to this day. In this hands-on cultural experience, you’ll transform into a Kabuki performer. Start with a full Kabuki makeup session (Kumadori style), then wear a traditional wig and colorful costume. With guidance from a local Kabuki master, you’ll rehearse a short mini-drama scene and then perform it on the real Kabuki stage used for actual performances. After the show, enjoy a photo session in costume and create your own “Oshikuma” (face imprint) — a unique keepsake made from your painted Kabuki makeup. This creative and personal experience is ideal for those who wish to connect deeply with Japan’s living traditions.
