The dialogue seems to be in Japanese from the Muromachi period. I can only understand half of it, but I can still follow the story. However! This means that if I were to time travel to the Sengoku period, I think almost no modern Japanese would be understood. I hereby declare that I have given up on developing a time machine.

For me, who experienced kyogen for the first time, it was a very interesting event, and I enjoyed it a lot. What I liked first was the opening act by the theater group Enban Rider. This pre-show, which explained the basic knowledge of Noh theater through a skit modeled after the performance, allowed me to prepare for entering the world of kyogen while also relaxing and enjoying the show.
Additionally, it seems that the selected performances are likely chosen to be interesting even for beginners. I appreciated that the comedic moments were easy to understand.
The backstage tour was also very fascinating, as it allowed us to peek behind the scenes of the Noh stage, which is not something you can see often. The explanations were thorough, ensuring that any questions were addressed, which gave me a little insight into the traditional performing arts of Noh and kyogen and the environment in which they have developed.
If I were to be picky, I thought the club-like atmosphere might be unnecessary. I believe many young people could enjoy it even without that aspect.
However, I still think it was a great event that was entertaining and allowed for a relaxed interaction with traditional performing arts.

I arrived at the Noh Theatre 30 minutes before the performance. The lounge, bustling with guests, felt just like a party venue! The clever touch of using Hyakunin Isshu reading cards as drink tickets allowed me to enjoy some sparkling wine.
To ensure that even beginners could enjoy the experience, they provided explanations about the history of Kyogen and the stage before the performance, which was fascinating! Since Kyogen uses classical Japanese rather than modern language, it felt like listening to a foreign language, but thanks to the performers' gestures, vocal inflections, and speaking style, I was able to understand it to some extent.
This time, I had signed up for a backstage tour, which allowed me to sneak into areas usually off-limits to the public. Guided by an apprentice, I listened to explanations about the performers' waiting area, dressing rooms, and props, and even got to see a demonstration of how the curtains are opened and closed, making the tour even more engaging regarding Kyogen.
In this otherworldly space, I was able to spend a noble and stylish time, creating a memorable evening. It seems there will be regular performances next year, so I would love to attend again.

I had absolutely no prior knowledge about Kyogen, but I was invited and decided to participate. I thought there would be many older people given the name "Noh Theatre," but I was surprised to see mostly young attendees! The lounge was filled with stylish adult women in kimonos and dressed up nicely. True to its title, it really had a "party-like" atmosphere.
The performance was "Hagi Daimyo." I came without knowing the story, but the performers explained how to enjoy it and the highlights in a fun and easy-to-understand way. It turns out that as long as you know a few tips, anyone can enjoy Kyogen! Before I knew it, an hour had flown by as I was captivated. I want to invite my friends and parents to go see it again next time.

The teacher was very good, her English was excellent and she explained everything very clearly. With no previous experience I was able to play a tune very quickly and the lesson was structured to allow me to play the tune with additional notes to add further detail / harmony to the melody.
The teacher was very patient and clearly knew her instrument very well; I felt that the lesson was worth every penny and was a unique and memorable experience.
Is there really a Noh theater on the second basement level of the Cerulean Tower? I was curious and decided to participate. After checking in and entering the Noh theater, I could see the stage from the side. I took a seat in the front row to the side of the stage and went to the foyer to exchange the Hyakunin Isshu card I received at the reception for a drink. Many people were already enjoying drinks, creating a lively atmosphere, and I had some whiskey. It helped me relax a bit. Then, I passed by the DJ booth and returned to the venue, taking photos of the stage and leisurely waiting for the performance to start.
When it was time for the show to begin, they started with an introduction to the food served in the foyer, followed by an amusing explanation of theater etiquette and how to handle difficult words. The performance this time was "Hagi Daimyo." The distance to the stage was close, allowing me to see the performers' expressions up close. The dialogue had a lot of repetition, making the structure of the story easy to understand, and I could listen without feeling tense. Even if there were parts I couldn't catch, the exaggerated expressions and movements of the performers were entertaining in themselves. I'm glad I was able to experience the performance.

When I was in high school, I had seen kyogen, but I didn't understand it at all. However, having grown since then, I thought that experiencing Japanese culture is part of education, so I decided to apply.
The Shibuya Noh Theatre is located on the basement level 2 of the Cerulean Tower.
When the venue opens, you are given a drink ticket, which is a Hyakunin Isshu, and I enjoyed some champagne while getting into the mood before the kyogen performance. In addition to drinks, there is a paid option where the Japanese restaurant "Kitanaka" prepares special mini kaiseki dishes, which you can also savor.
The kyogen lounge has a completely relaxed atmosphere. Before the kyogen performance, there is a pre-show with skits, where explanations of words related to kyogen and the stage are provided, making it easy for first-timers to enjoy the performance. Additionally, Mr. Motoharu Okura, the organizer, gives an explanation of the program before the kyogen, making it easier to understand the performance itself.
After the kyogen, there is a tour of the backstage of the Noh Theatre. You can see the behind-the-scenes of the kyogen you just watched, including the back of the curtain and the timing for raising the curtain. Although it was a short time, it was a fun experience to witness scenes that you normally wouldn't see.
Kyogen often has a stiff image, but in this kyogen lounge, I felt it was something more familiar. I had a wonderful time, and I'm considering attending the kyogen lounge next year.

I attended the "Kyogen Lounge" at the Cerulean Tower Noh Theatre.
One of the Hyakunin Isshu poems was transformed into a stylish free drink ticket, allowing us to enjoy a glass of wine, and we savored hors d'oeuvres inspired by that day's performance prepared by the chef from Kanesaka. We laughed at the modern and amusing pre-show commentary and were impressed by the behind-the-scenes stories of the Noh stage. There were so many unique and unconventional ideas to enjoy the classical art of "Kyogen," which has remained unchanged since the Muromachi period! It was a very enjoyable time.
I also participated in a backstage tour, and compared to opera houses both domestic and international, it was very simple! This is understandable, as opera is a comprehensive art that includes stage sets and costumes, while Noh and Kyogen rely as little as possible on costumes and props, focusing instead on "evoking the audience's imagination." I found this very intriguing.
By experiencing the Noh stage from both the front and the back, I felt I could somewhat grasp the concept of "Rikimi no Mi." Thank you for a wonderful extraordinary experience.

I was invited, so I decided to go along with the feeling of just tagging along. I had the impression that it would be formal, intimidating, and unfamiliar, but I was surprised when I arrived!
At the reception, I received a card for Hyakunin Isshu and a drink voucher, which was a surprising start right from the entrance. I had imagined drinks like sake, but there were various options available. (I had sparkling wine.)
Seeing the Hyakunin Isshu card brought back nostalgic feelings, as I remembered memorizing it in high school! I felt a bit reluctant to exchange it for a drink and couldnโt help but snap a photo. I felt a certain attachment to that one card out of the hundred.
It really felt like a party, and I sat down a little tipsy, ready for the start. Just when I thought we were starting, a short skit began, and I was amusingly taught various aspects of Kyogen, which changed how I enjoyed it afterward.
At first, I wasnโt familiar with the actual Kyogen, so I listened closely, but gradually I got used to it and was able to enjoy it in a fun way! Of course, it was difficult to understand everything, but since I received an explanation at the beginning, I didnโt force myself to understand and enjoyed it with a bit of imagination and listening.
Iโm thinking of going next time with my husband, who hasnโt been before. After participating this time, Iโve started to develop an interest in Japan's unique culture. Thank you very much!

After spending out whole trip thinking we wouldn't we able to learn how to make sample food due to our lack of conversational Japanese, we finally found this place! We had a great time making the sample ramen. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were also enthusiastic to talk about the different methods of sample food making and the history behind it. Easy to find and easily accessible. A highlight of the trip!
HelloใSir
This time Thank you for coming.
I think happy to received high evaluation
Ramen I think I can very well
We will wait for us or visit us.
Upon exiting the west exit of Shibuya Station, you'll immediately see "Cerulean Tower." On the second basement level, there is the "Kyogen Lounge."
As I entered, feeling a bit nervous about experiencing Kyogen for the first time, I found the atmosphere reminiscent of a party venue. At the reception, I received a Hyakunin Isshu card, which served as a drink ticket. The music played by a DJ dressed in traditional attire added to the high-sense blend of Japanese and Western elements in the space.
Beyond the lounge is the Noh Theatre. There is a pre-show explanation, and it is incredibly entertaining! Any worries about whether I would enjoy Kyogen were quickly dispelled. The explanation incorporates humor, making it easy to absorb knowledge about Kyogen and the Noh Theatre naturally.
Just as I relaxed, the Kyogen performance finally began. The language was unfamiliar at first, but thanks to the pre-show explanation, I was able to enjoy it without any issues.
In the end, I was able to laugh heartily!!!

As a Japanese person, I must admit... I had honestly never heard of kyogen before. The headline "Enjoy Kyogen with a Party Atmosphere!" caught my attention, so I decided to participate out of curiosity. When I arrived at the venue, it was truly a party setting. Since it included one drink, I quickly enjoyed a glass of white wine. A DJ in a kimono played calming music, and many people were enjoying conversations with wine in hand. I noticed quite a few attendees were also dressed in kimono. There was also an exhibition and sale of antique goods like kimono obis and tableware, which made the time before the performance enjoyable without getting bored. As for my impression of kyogen... I didn't expect it to be this entertaining! I had avoided traditional performing arts because I thought they were difficult, but thanks to the easy-to-understand explanations, I was able to get into it smoothly in a short time. Oh, and the pamphlet provided is a must-read! It contains summaries of the stories and explanations about kyogen, so if you read it beforehand, you'll enjoy it twice as much. I might just go to the next performance!

Efforts have been made to pass down traditional performing arts to modern people, making it enjoyable even for those without prior knowledge. The beautiful finger foods from Sukiya Kanetaka were so captivating that I couldn't help but admire them. Each dish is said to be inspired by the performances. Although I missed out on them before the show, they were freshly prepared again after the performance. I noticed many women in kimonos and young ladies dressed up. If an older gentleman brought me here on a date, I would surely be enchanted.

We had a young chap who spoke quite good English for a Japanese, to run through what we were supposed to do.
The whole process was very fun and it was amazing to see the other fake food items that the store makes too!
The only downside is finding this place, it is in a small and quiet neighbourhood in Tokyo. However it was also fun exploring the area once you're there.
Highly recommended, not only for families with young kids but adults as well!

Since watching the movie "PIKANCHI" by Arashi, I had been longing to experience a yakatabune (houseboat), and I finally went for it.
I had the impression that yakatabune was mainly for banquets in a tatami room, but you can actually join with a small group of people easily. On the day, there were about ten of us, including a group of older folks reminiscent of a reunion, a pair of women resembling a girls' night out, and my family of three. Instead of tatami seating, we had table seats separated by groups, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worrying about others.
And what impressed me the most was the freshly fried tempuraโit was amazing! They serve each piece freshly fried, and every tempura was delicious! The tempura of anago (conger eel) was particularly outstanding! Enjoying exquisite dishes while gazing at the flowing scenery along the Sumida River from the boat was truly special.
The route took us from Kuramae to Odaiba, where we stopped for a bit before heading back. The boatman guided us through the highlights, sharing insights that I wouldn't have noticed just by looking around myself, which was very informative.
I definitely want to come back during cherry blossom season next time. I imagine the night cherry blossoms would be beautiful!

These women work so hard to "get it right" so the tight quarters become almost a part of the experience.
My boyfriend and I attended the evening dinner cruise, and were completely overwhelmed with the experience. The food was great, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, we saw some amazing sights and the company was also great. Highly recommended, a great way to see Tokyo and enjoy some great company.
This time, I attended a Kyogen performance for the first time at the invitation of a friend.
In preparation for the performance, I wanted to experience the traditional Japanese culture of "Kyogen" without any biased preconceptions from prior knowledge. I was curious to see how well I could understand it, so I deliberately avoided any pre-study about Kyogen and the performers before arriving at the venue.
Although I was nervous at the new venue, I was eased by the smiles of the organizers and the bright atmosphere of the entire space. The excited expressions of the audience, dressed in various traditional and modern outfits, waiting for the performance, along with the cozy space to enjoy drinks and affordable snacks, made me feel at home. At the same time, the beauty and solemnity of the stage tightened my heart. Once the performance began, I was captivated by the content of the program and the loudness and beauty of the performers' voices, allowing me to spend a precious time that stirred my emotions throughout.
Thanks to the warm-hearted direction of this event, I was able to enjoy and understand Kyogen from the beginning to the end, rather than pretending to know it. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much for this experience.

I've always wondered how it felt like to wear a Kimono. I never knew how elaborate it is to wear it, until I tried it. It was so beautiful... I was carefully dressed up from head to foot by three people, as if I was a VIP. Their efforts paid off since many strangers praised how I looked.Walking around wearing the Kimono was an experience I'll never forget. In fact, I will do it again if I will have the chance to go back to Japan.
I made a full sized parfait. The staff was very patient and helpful. His english is understandable, and he made a great effort explaining himself. It was fun and easy enough for adults or kids. Took only 30minutes or so. Would like to try making tempura and curry rice next time. Look really realistic!!
Thank you for your visit.
Also, we are honored and received a high rating
We are happy if you could enjoy
Come also of the visit, we will wait

I attended my first kyogen performance in my life!
The event description mentioned, "Enjoyable kyogen for beginners in a party-like atmosphere," but since it was my first time, I felt a bit nervous. The day before, I researched manners and dress codes, and since I went after work, I couldn't wear a dress or kimono, but I made sure to dress nicely before heading to the venue. After checking in, I received a drink ticket.
Since it was open seating, I secured my seat before exchanging my drink ticket, but I arrived a bit late, so most of the front seats were already taken. The front row on the side was open, so I decided to sit there (during the performance, I enjoyed it just as much from the side as I would have from the front!).
When the performance began, I thought I would stay quiet to avoid being rude, but I was given a fun and engaging explanation of the manners (like when to applaud), the history of kyogen, and a general overview of the stories beforehand. Even though there were words I didn't understand during the performance, it was so funny that I couldn't help but laugh! It made me realize that the sense of humor hasn't changed over time. Thanks to the prior explanation, I quickly understood the flow of the stories, and before I knew it, I was drawn into the world of kyogen, and the 45 minutes flew by!
I couldn't participate in the backstage tour due to time constraints, but since I found kyogen so interesting, I would have loved to see the backstage (the dressing room visit) as well. Next time, I want to include the backstage tour and see another performance!

I had been hesitant about traditional performing arts because they seemed so highbrow. However, I decided to take the plunge and sign up for this tour, especially since it promised a behind-the-scenes look.
Before the performance, there was an explanation of what kyogen is, and we enjoyed a comedic dialogue based on the play "Soron." Since photography wasn't allowed during the performance, we were able to pose for pictures beforehand, which was a great service. Thanks to this, I found it very easy to understand and truly enjoy kyogen.
Listening to the explanation allowed me to appreciate the sounds of the performers' feet on stage, realizing, "Ah, indeed, the Noh stage is designed to echo sound well," and as I watched the performers move in a triangular pattern, I thought, "Ah, this is the journey now." I was able to notice these details while enjoying the performance.
Additionally, there was a backstage tour that you can't usually see, which I absolutely recommend.
The Kyogen Lounge is located in a prime area of Shibuya, inside the Cerulean Tower, where you can enjoy sparkling wine before the performance. Plus, the renowned restaurant Kanesaka is also included, allowing for a leisurely meal before the show.
I attended alone this time, but I would love to use this experience for a date next time.

I only had a basic understanding of what kyogen is, and I was worried that someone like me, who struggles with the Japanese language, wouldn't enjoy it. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I went; I was amazed by the performance and thoroughly enjoyed the clear, modern explanations.
The explanations of the stage (I was really impressed by the pine tree part) and the way the performers utilized the space, along with their wonderful voices and the contrast in their characters when speaking normally... it was all incredibly captivating. The themes also resonated with contemporary issues, prompting deep reflection.
During the backstage tour, I was astonished to learn that the Noh theater is built in a very authentic style. Although it's located within a hotel, it offers a magnificent, independent world.
I was truly surprised to find such a wonderful place to enjoy traditional performing arts in Shibuya. It was a night that made me want to experience more of our traditions, not just kyogen. I applaud the Okura school for conveying the long history of kyogen in a new form. The audience was stylish, and the atmosphere was lovely!

I participated in a yakatabune (traditional Japanese houseboat) experience with my parents who came from Kyushu, enjoying a typical Tokyo night together across three generations. This was my second time on this yakatabune, having joined it two winters ago. The service quality remains consistently excellent, and I was once again very satisfied!
The highlight of the evening was the food, which seemed to have improved in quality compared to my last visit. The seasonal appetizers were beautifully crafted, and each one was delicious. Even the kids, who usually donโt eat much vegetables or tofu, exclaimed, "This is delicious!" The freshly fried tempura, a highlight of the yakatabune experience, was outstanding! While the dipping sauce was good, the simple taste of salt on the hot tempura was delightful. For dessert, there were two types: fruit and wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets). I ended up quite full.
The all-you-can-drink menu included a variety of options like beer (Ichiban Shibori!), shochu (and sour drinks), wine, and umeshu (plum wine), making the time on board feel too short... If I had to wish for something, I would have liked a few more options for soft drinks (the kids had only cola and orange juice).
Last time, an ice cream vendor came by the boat, but this time it was a vendor selling asari (clams) tsukudani (a type of preserved food). At 1000 yen per pack, it seemed a bit pricey in hindsight, but I bought two for my parents and myself, and they sold out right after. It was a lucky moment. Shopping on the boat added to the unique experience, creating wonderful memories.
The night views of Tokyo Skytree and Odaiba are always beautiful, no matter how many times you see them. Personally, I love the night view of the bright red Tokyo Tower the most. It seems that there will be fireworks at Odaiba on Saturday nights in December, so if you visit during that time, I think you can enjoy the yakatabune experience even more.

Last year, when I participated, there was an event where everyone celebrated the birthday guests. After seeing that, my son said he definitely wanted to ride on a yakatabune again for his next birthday, so we joined again this time to celebrate his birthday.
The freshly fried tempura was as delicious as ever, and having all-you-can-drink with it is truly appreciated. Most of the staff were different from last time, but both then and now, everyone was really pleasant, and we had a wonderful time.
Additionally, this time there was a surprise with a comedian on board who performed a traditional Japanese act with a folding fan and a lion dance. There were many guests from abroad as well, which made it very lively.
And then came the much-anticipated celebration event. Besides my two children, there were several other birthday guests, and we all celebrated together. On this day, not only were there birthdays, but there was also a couple who had just gotten married that day, and we shared in their happy atmosphere.
It was a day where I felt that the scenery, food, drinks, and this sense of togetherness are the true essence of a yakatabune experience.

We usually watch traditional performing arts, focusing on Kabuki, nearly 30 times a year, but since we don't know much about Kyogen, we immediately decided to participate when we found out about this groundbreaking initiative, the Kyogen Lounge.
The performance was "Soron," which I have seen in Rakugo but was my first time seeing it in Kyogen. Before the stage began, there were explanations to make the plot easier to understand, as well as descriptions of the stage settings and surroundings, which were very informative and gave the impression of being thoughtfully structured.
The content was also easy to approach and interesting, leading to laughter from various parts of the audience, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
During the backstage tour after the performance, we were able to see parts that are usually not visible, accompanied by explanations. I was moved to learn that each piece of equipment and action has a significant meaning passed down through generations.
Unfortunately, I was unable to enjoy the cuisine from Sukiya Kanetaka, which I had planned to try before the performance (though it required an additional fee), as most of it was sold out. Additionally, the quality of the red wine we received with our tickets was poor, and I hardly drank any of it.
Overall, I had a great time. I would like to see Kyogen again if the opportunity arises.
Please remember to remove your hats inside the Noh theater. It was a bit disappointing to see a few people wearing theirs.

My father, uncle, and I participated together.
It was my and my father's first experience on a traditional Japanese houseboat, and we had a wonderful time.
The boarding area was near the Oedo Line's Kachidoki Station, which was easy to find even for us who were unfamiliar with the area.
We confirmed our names with the beautiful cabin attendant and boarded the boat. As soon as we got on, we saw the kitchen and greeted the staff, who responded with a smile, saying, "Enjoy your time!" This made us even more excited.
The other guests included salarymen and a group of ladies celebrating a 90th birthday, among others. There was also a couple at a table, and as someone who had the image of a houseboat being solely for parties, I realized, "This can be used for various occasions," which was an eye-opener for me.
As the boat started moving, we felt the excitement from the sound of the motor, while the city lights and illuminated bridges outside the window thrilled us! The cabin attendant provided information at key points, and my father, who loves taking photos, was happily capturing every moment.
The food was delicious. I was delighted that the tempura was freshly fried! We devoured everything from vegetables to fish. Also, having unlimited bottled beer added to the luxurious feeling. Hehe.
We were able to enjoy a truly extraordinary experience. Thank you!

I thought I had no connection to the world of Kyogen, but it felt embarrassing as an adult not to know anything about it, so I decided to gain some experience and booked a reservation through this site.
In the world of traditional Japanese performing arts, those who know about it are incredibly knowledgeable and often attend performances frequently. I had imagined that only such people would gather and engage in deep conversations, but it seems that this "Kyogen Lounge" was created to allow even those who are not familiar with Kyogen to participate easily, and I felt there were many beginners like myself. Of course, there were also many who seemed to be regulars, but as a beginner, I felt reassured. It has a casual atmosphere, but since it's at a hotel, I think it's better to dress in smart casual attire to feel elegant.
Before the Kyogen performance began, there was a 40-minute explanation on "What is Kyogen," which was filled with humor and had us laughing the whole time. It was so enjoyable that you could say Kyogen equals comedy. Not only was it entertaining, but it also provided a lot of information that beginners wanted to know, such as highlights of the stage, the actors' movements, and timing for applause. Without this, I would have been lost during the actual performance.
