Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Great way to explore the city!

Reviewed by: Chew

The Hop-on Hop-off bus tickets would bring you to many of the prominent tourist places. It is a great way to explore the city and very convenient for you to drop off at your desired spots for touring. With 1-day pass, it is quite impossible to take all 3 routes unless you intend to just sit on the bus without dropping off at the numerous tourist spots. Hence, you would need careful planning of the route. I first took the bus at Tokyo Station for the Odaiba course, dropping off at Venus Port (since I did not manage to go there when I went to Aqua City and Diver City the previous day) before taking the bus again one hour later back to Tokyo Station. After that, I took the bus again to go to Roppongi Hills. It depends on which place you want to go and with careful planning you will be enjoying the bus tour very much.

The comedic movements are interesting. コミカルな動きが面白い

Reviewed by: オグリキャップ

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.

セリフは室町時代の日本語らしいです。半分しか理解できませんがなんとかストーリーは追えます。しかし！と言う事は戦国時代にタイムスリップしたらほとんど今の日本語は通じないと思いました。今ここにタイムマシンを開発する事を諦めたのを宣言します。

First Kyogen Performance 初めての狂言

Reviewed by: yuta

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.

初めて狂言を鑑賞した私にとっても非常に面白いイベントで、とても楽しめました。まず気に入ったのが円盤ライダーという劇団の方々による前説です。今回の演目を模したコントで能舞台の基礎知識を説明する、この前説では狂言の世界に入り込む準備ができるとともに、肩の力を抜いて鑑賞できるという良さもありました。

また、おそらく演目も初心者が見ても面白いものを選択しているのでしょう。笑いどころが分かりやすいものが上演されていたのもありがたかったです。

バックヤードツアーもなかなか見ることができない能舞台の裏側をのぞくことができて非常に興味深かったです。何かあれば、しっかり痒いところまで手が届くような説明がされるので、能や狂言がどのような土壌で育ってきた伝統芸能かと言うことが少しだけわかった気がします。

欲を言えば、クラブ風にするのは蛇足かなあとも思いました。若い人もこれが無くても楽しめる人は多いだろうと思うからです。

しかし、やっぱり面白いし肩の力を抜いて伝統芸能に触れ合える、良いイベントだったと思います。

A Kyogen Night Enjoyable for Beginners☆ 初心者でも楽しめる☆狂言ナイト

Reviewed by: Laugier

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.

開演30分前に能楽堂に到着。お客さんで賑わうラウンジはまさにパーティー会場のよう♪
百人一首の読札がドリンク券というニクい演出で、スパークリングワインをいただきました。

初心者の人でも楽しめるよう、上演前に狂言の歴史や舞台を解説してくれますが、これがおもしろい！狂言自体は現代語ではなく古語を使うため、外国語を聞いているようでしたが、演者の所作、声の抑揚、話し方のおかげで、ある程度、理解することができました。

今回、バックヤードツアー付きを申し込んでいたため、普段一般の人が入ることのできない裏舞台に潜入することができました。お弟子さんの案内のもと、演者控えの場や、楽屋、小道具などの説明を聞いたり、幕の開け閉めを再現してくれたりと、狂言に対してより興味が沸くツアー内容でした。

異空間の中、高貴でオシャレな時間を過ごすことができ、思い出に残る一夜となりました。
来年も定期的に公演があるようですので、また鑑賞してみたいと思いました。

Kyogen that even beginners can enjoy♪ 初心者でも楽しめる狂言♪

Reviewed by: moeko

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.

狂言って何？というくらい予備知識はまったくありませんでしたが、お誘いいただいて参加してきました。
「能楽堂」という名前から年配の方が多いのかな？と思っていましたが、予想外に若い方ばかりでびっくり！ラウンジは着物の方やドレスアップされた方など、オトナ女子のおしゃれな方ばかり。タイトル通り、本当に「パーティー感覚」の雰囲気でした。

演目は萩大名。ストーリーも知らないまま来てしまいましたが、演者の方が楽しみ方、見所など面白くわかりやすく説明してくれます。狂言はコツだけ知れば、誰でも楽しめるものなのですね！見入っているうちにあっという間の1時間でした。
次は友達や両親を誘ってまた観に行きたいと思います。

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Great experience on viewing tokyo

Reviewed by: Marshall

The buses condition is great and clean. The tour is precise in timing however the schedule is not that frequent (one hour plus). This is open top seating bus only and it gets pretty cold during the winter when the bus moves quickly. The coverage of the tour is great however the initial boarding/getting the pass is only in couple places, cant be done on every stop. The tour guides are nice and helpful, it is no hassle on bringing infant and stroller. The pass is Valid for 24 hours from the initial pass exchange, So you can continue using it the next day when you start late on the day. The tour is running until pretty late too. Good price for money. Recommended.

It's fun no matter how many times you ride it. 何回乗っても楽しい

Reviewed by: Hiroshi

This was my second time using the service. During my first visit, I used it for sightseeing on a single route, and it was quite fulfilling as I was able to efficiently visit various attractions.

This time, my purpose was shopping at multiple shopping malls, so I used the Odaiba course again to shop in Odaiba and Toyosu. The bus stops right in front of the shopping malls, making it very convenient for shopping!

A significant difference from my last experience was that we crossed the Rainbow Bridge on the highway, which offered great views, and although the wind was a bit chilly, it felt nice.

The bus users were mostly foreigners and Japanese people who seemed to be from other regions. Most of the users appeared to enjoy taking photos and engaging in lively conversations as we passed by tourist spots.

In the future, when local friends or family come to Tokyo, I will use this service again. I would also like to try the Asakusa and Skytree route, as well as the Roppongi route.

今回の利用は2回目で、前回利用した時は1ルートだけ観光目的で利用しました。その際は観光名所を効率良くまわれて、かなり充実しました。

今回は複数のショッピングモールで買い物が目的だったため、前回と同様にお台場コースを利用してお台場と豊洲で買い物をしました。このバスはショッピングモールの前にバス停があるため買い物にもとても便利です！

前回と大きく違ったのは、レインボーブリッジを高速道路で通ったため、景色が良かったのと、少し風が冷たかったですが、気持ち良かったです。

バスの利用者は、外国の方が大半と地方から来たと思われる日本人の方が利用されていました。
利用者のほとんどが、観光名所を通ると楽しそうに写真撮影したり、会話がかなり盛り上げっていました。

今後、地元の友人や家族が東京に来た際は、また利用します。
その際は、浅草やスカイツリールートや六本木ルートも回ってみたいと思います。

Relax and enjoy the close-up experience of Kyogen. リラックスして間近で見られる狂言

Reviewed by: かめこ

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.

セルリアンタワー地下２階に能楽堂なんてあるの？？と興味を持って参加しました。
受付を済ませて能楽堂に入ると舞台が横から見えます。舞台横前列の席をとり、受付でいただいた百人一首の札を持ってホワイエに飲み物と交換に行きました。すでにお酒を召し上がっている方が大勢いらしてざわついた雰囲気の中、ウィスキーを頂きました。お酒でちょっとリラックスできます。それから、ＤＪブースの横を通り会場に戻って、舞台の写真などを撮ったりしてのんびり開演を待ちました。
開演時間になると、ホワイエで振舞っていた料理の紹介に始まり、観劇のマナー、とっつきにくい言葉への対応方法など面白おかしく説明していただけました。
今回の演目は萩大名。舞台との距離が近くて演者の表情が間近で見え、反復の多い会話でしたのでお話の構成も分かりやすく、身構えずに聞くことができました。また、よく聞き取れないところがあっても、演者の大げさな表情・所作だけでも面白く感じました。
観劇できてよかったです。

Reviewed by: けいらん

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.

高校生の頃、狂言を見たことはあったのですが、

Backstage バックステージ

Reviewed by: こんどう

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.

舞台裏見学にも参加したのですが、内外のオペラハウスのバックステージと比べてとってもシンプル！！それもそのはず、オペラは舞台セットやコスチュームも含む総合芸術なのに対して、お能や狂言は極力衣装や道具に頼らず『観客のイメージ力を喚起する芸』なのだと伺ってとても興味深かったです。

表から裏から能舞台を観ることで、すこしだけ「離見の見」を体感できたように思います。素敵な非日常体験をありがとうございました。

I participated for the first time, and I really enjoyed it like a party! 初めて参加しましたが本当にパーティー感覚で楽しめました！

Reviewed by: さつまっころ

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 couldn’t 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 wasn’t 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 didn’t force myself to understand and enjoyed it with a bit of imagination and listening.

I’m thinking of going next time with my husband, who hasn’t been before. After participating this time, I’ve started to develop an interest in Japan's unique culture. Thank you very much!

誘ってもらったので、ついていく感覚で行ってみました。
堅苦しそう、敷居が高そう、なじみがない、という印象を持っていましたが着いたらびっくり♪

受付で百人一首のカードを一枚もらい、ワンドリンクの引換券という入場の時から驚きのスタートです。飲み物も、イメージ的に日本酒などを想像していましたがバリエーションもありました。（私はスパークリングワインをいただきました）

百人一首も「高校の時に暗記したやつだ～～！」と懐かしい気持ちになりました。
ドリンクと引き換えるのも惜しく感じて思わず写真をパチリ。100枚のうちの1枚、という点になんだかその1枚に愛着を感じました。

本当にパーティーみたいな感じで少しほろ酔い気分で席について、いよいよスタート。
スタート、と思ったらショートコントが始まり狂言のあれこれを面白おかしく教えてもらいましたのでその後の狂言の楽しみ方が変わりました。

実際の狂言は、はじめ聞きなれないのでよくよく耳を澄ましていましたが
だんだん耳が慣れてきておもしろおかしく楽しむことができました！
もちろん全部理解するのは難しかったのですが、最初に説明してもらったので無理に理解しようとせずに、想像力と少しの聞き取りで楽しみました。

早速、行ったことのない旦那と次回は行ってみようかと思います。
今回の参加で日本独特の文化に興味を持ち始めました♪ありがとうございました。

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!

日本人としてお恥ずかしながら…狂言…正直、聞いたことありませんでした。「パーティー感覚で狂言を楽しむ！」という見出しに目を惹かれ、興味本位で参加。会場に着くと、そこはまさにパーティー会場。ワンドリンク付きなので早速私は白ワインをいただきました。着物を着たDJが落ち着いた音楽を流し、たくさんの人がワイン片手に歓談を楽しんでいました。着物を着て来ている方も結構いたように思います。着物の帯や食器などアンティーク雑貨の展示販売もあり、開演前の時間も飽きずに楽しめました。そして狂言の感想はというと…「こんなに面白いと思わなかった！」です。伝統芸能って難しいイメージで避けてきたけど、分かりやすい説明のおかげで短時間ですんなり入っていけました。そうそう、用意されているパンフレットは必読です！お話のあらすじや狂言についての説明などが書かれているので、先に目を通しておくと2倍楽しめます。次の公演も行っちゃおうかな～

Efforts have been made to pass down traditional performing arts to modern people, making it enjoyable even for those without prior knowledge.

We really enjoy the Hop On Hop Off bus tour of Toyko. The best part was the checkin. It was easy and the attendant gave us the tickets within 2 minutes. While on the bus, the best part is the top deck. We had great weather 2 weeks ago so this was an extra plus. The top deck also lets you take great pictures so we were excited being on top. We were given earphones which we had forgotten so this was just incredible service. The stops are great. They were easy to find and maps were easy to read. The schedules were also easy to read and we were able to plan accordingly. All in all, we had a great time, used the bus to see everything, and also get around town conveniently.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

English language recording broke after the first stop.

Reviewed by: Meh

I am very experienced with hop-on, hop-off tours, having taken them in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

The English language recording broke after the first stop. I don't think we missed much, as the recording mostly just explained some facts about the highway when it was working.

The Ueno and Akihabara stops are inconveniently located as they drop you several blocks from the main attractions (this might be true for all tour buses stopping at these locations).

There are three separate bus tour routes and they really should be combined into 1-2 routes. The buses go four to five stops on a given line, then the bus doubles back.

Best Tour around Tokyo - Incredible Value

Reviewed by: M Shoaib Sheikh

We recently had the chance to stop by in Tokyo on our recent trip to Asia.We were really tight on schedule provided we had 21 hours layover.But then we were suggested by our Hilton Tokyo concierge to take advantage of this fantastic skybus hop on and hop off service.

There are 3 courses you can opt for all in one ticket for nearly 22 USD/person which gives you excellent value for money as taxi travel in Tokyo is VERY expensive and it is very very organised and operates in very timely fashion along with very detailed history of all the important buildings and monuments we passed by.
We took all three courses starting with Odaiba course and followed by Roppongi-Tokyo course.You can hop on and hop off as many times as you like.One of the best thing is you can hop on to next course bus at same Marunouchi Mitsubishi building so as soon as you end up with one course, you can hop on to next course bus within 10~15 mins and it gives you just enough time to use restrooms and buy something from the shops close by.The buses were WIFI equipped, neat and clean with comfortable seating.We travelled with a toddler and we had enough legroom to give him some space to flex his muscles :).Most importantly, the buses have glass roof so if you can look through them or take pictures if you aren't able to see through windows.

If you are taking train to reach Mitsubishi building, drop off at Tokyo station and you are just 2~3 minutes walk away.You can also grab a bite from Manhattan grill which is pretty close to Mitsubishi building.Without skybus tours we would not have been able to see so much of Tokyo in short span of time.

We are Canadians from Toronto and first time visitors to Japan. We had a total 1 week's time to visit 3 cities - Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. We had planned to spend 3 days in Tokyo and wanted to cover the most tourist places. Japan has a very advanced and amazing railway system, especially in Tokyo with multiple local train lines meshing the city providing excellent connectivity. We decided to take a day pass on JR Rail and see the important places ourselves. We took 1-day pass and could see only 2-3 places and were tired by end of the day due to long walks. Then we found out on the net about Tokyo Hop-On Hop-off bus for 1 or 2 days. We took 1 day pass on the Hop-On Hop-off bus and were pleasantly surprised that we could cover most major visiting spots within a day. With guided tour and convenience of hop-on hop-off it was a lot more relaxing as there was minimum walking. There was flexibility to get on to the next bus at scheduled time plus we were able to see most of Tokyo by taking all 3 Hop-On Hop-off bus lines. Staff was very courteous and helpful. It was raining for some part of the day and we were provided raincoats. We enjoyed the Hop-On Hop-off bus and we will recommend other friends to take this tour for quick tour of Tokyo.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Great deal

Reviewed by: Reza

I strongly recommend using Hop-On Hop-Off buses as it is really a great deal. We have seen several places in Tokyo beforehand. However, by using these special buses we have a general sense of view of the Tokyo. My suggestion to the tourists is to have a plan to use the 2 days trip. By paying a quite reasonable price than 1 day you are able to have a trip over the whole thee lines including Green, Purple and also Blue. Be aware the buses for all three routes are red and you should ask the staff which one is which otherwise you need to wait for at least 1 hour for the next bus. you should take the time table and try to choose the lines in a way that you are able to minimum the waiting time in between. On the first day you can sit on the bust and having a look around if there is any places you would like to stop by you should make a note for yourself including which line it is and what station it is then on the next day you can just stop on the favorite places you have chosen. As a last point you are better off getting off the Tokyo station as it is pretty close to the Mitsubishi station compare to the other stations. Hope you all enjoy the trip!

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Fun but mixed

Reviewed by: Sarah Perl

This was mostly a good experience. But there were some areas that needed improvement.

The audio was always "off." The announcements of the audio typically came after we had passed a location -- the audio was late or the driver was fast. In the beginning there was no info on the first 10 minutes of the trip at all. The ear plugs need to be up-graded. The style you have is very uncomfortable for some people, including me. Finally, the audio box for one of us (we were two travelers) was not working -- the volume could not go sufficiently high to hear.

There was an issue with whether the bus was stopping or not at the marked locations. For example, we would have wanted to get off at Asakusa to visit the market and the temple, but the bus did not stop there at all. The brochure indicated that the bus should have stopped there. But there was no announcement or offer to stop, and the bus did not stop. That was very disappointing to us.

We hope this info is useful and we appreciate the two-for-one offer in exchange for us providing this review. Please process the credit at your earliest convenience. Also, the ponchos were great and the woman at the Mitsubishi box office was super helpful.
Best

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Sky hop Tokyo, hop on hop off

Reviewed by: Spargo-san

Great 24 hour deal, routes are timed nicely so you can finish on, and join the next, good spread of sites and activities, staff very friendly and knowledgeable, buses in nice condition.

Good thing is that you get 24 hours from the time of your purchase / arrival to get your ticket, so if you show up at 2pm (like I did, because you had activities the night before that prevented an early start) then your 24 hours starts at 2pm and ends at 2pm the following day, nice idea :)

I would recommend the saving the bridge route until the evening (or just go through it again in the evening) as the lights on the bridges at night are awesome and well worth seeing!

This was my first time watching Kyogen. 初めて狂言を拝見して

Reviewed by: Yuri

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.

今回友人からの誘いで、初めて狂言を拝見しました。

観劇に際して、予備知識による偏った先入観を持たずに、目の前で演じられる日本の伝統文化の「狂言」を体感し、自分が理解できるかどうかの自分との距離感を知りたかったため、狂言に関すること、そしてご出演される皆様方に関することを敢えて予習せずに会場へ参りました。

初めての会場に緊張しておりましたが、主催者の方々の笑顔と会場全体の雰囲気の明るさに心をほぐされ、和装洋装様々なお姿で開演を待つ来場者の期待に心踊る表情や、お酒を楽しめるスペースと手頃な肴のご用意に心が和み、その一方で舞台の造形の美しさと厳かさに心が引き締まり、開演してからの演目の内容と、演者の方のご発声の大きさと美しさに心が奪われ、終始心が揺さぶられる貴重な時間を過ごすことができました。

狂言を知ったかぶりの分かったふりで楽しむのではなく、本企画の心温かな演出のおかげで、開場から終演まで楽しみながら狂言を理解し、心から楽しめることができました。

次も機会があれば参加させていただきたいと思います。この度はありがとうございました。

It was my daughter's first time in Tokyo as a sixth grader, so we decided to visit various well-known places that we had heard about! Although it was a bit hectic, we were able to cover all three courses in one full day, and we were very satisfied. As mentioned in the experiences, most of the guests were from abroad, which was nice as well. We had a bit of trouble figuring out the Asakusa station after taking the train from Skytree to Asakusa, but that's also a memorable experience! Thank you very much! (^^)!

小６の娘にとって、初めての東京だったので、広く浅～く聞いたことのあるいろんな場所に行って見よう！ということで利用させていただきました！
ちょっとバタバタはしましたが、丸１日、３コースすべてを回ることができて大満足です。
体験談にあったように、ほとんどが外国からのお客さんだったのですが、それもまたよし。
途中スカイツリー→浅草を電車で移動したため、浅草の停留所がなかなかわからず大変でしたが、それもまた思い出です！

The sense of humor has been the same now and in the past. 今も昔も笑いのツボは同じ

Reviewed by: さっち

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!

人生で初の狂言を鑑賞してきました！

公演の説明には「パーティー感覚で初心者でも楽しめる狂言を」と書いてありましたが、初の狂言鑑賞だったので緊張しました。前日はマナーやドレスコードなどいろいろと調べ、仕事後に行ったのでドレスや着物は着ていけませんでしたが、一応キレイめな格好をしていざ開場へ。
受付を済ませ、ドリンクチケットをいただきました。
自由席だったので、ドリンクを引き換える前に席の確保を先にしましたが少し遅れて行った為、正面の席はほぼ埋まっていました。横席前列は開いていたのでそちらに座ることに（鑑賞中は正面も横も関係なく楽しめました！）。

いざ公演が始まり、マナー違反にならないようにひたすらおとなしくしようと思っていたのですが、事前にマナー（拍手をするタイミングなど）や狂言の歴史、大体のお話のあらすじなどを面白おかしく解説してもらえました。
演目中は分からない言葉がありつつも、それでも声を出して笑ってしまうほど面白かったです！今も昔も、笑いのツボは一緒なんだな－と感じました。事前の解説のおかげで話の流れもすぐ理解できたので置いていかれることもなく、気づけば狂言の世界に引き込まれ、あっという間の45分間でした！

そのあとのバックヤードツアーは時間の都合で参加することはできませんでしたが、狂言が面白かったのでバックヤード（楽屋訪問）も見たかったです。次回はバックヤードツアーも含め別の演目を見に行きたいです！

It was a wonderful experience. すばらしい体験でした

Reviewed by: クリームママ

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.

　敷居が高くて躊躇していた古典芸能。このツアーで申し込むと舞台裏も見せていただけるということですし、せっかく日本人に生まれたのだから、と思い切って申し込んでみました。

　事前に狂言とは何ぞや、との解説あり、今回の演目である『宗論』を素材にした掛け合い漫才？あり、（上演中は撮影できないため）事前にポーズをとっていただいたり、サービス満点でした。そのおかげでとてもわかりやすく、狂言を心から楽しみことが出来ました。
解説を聞いたおかげで縁者が足で舞台を踏む音を聞きながら「ああ、確かに能の部隊は音がよく反響するように作られているんだな」とか舞台を三角にひとまわりするのを見て「ああ、今は道行きなんだな」など気づきながら鑑賞できました。
また、普段見ることの出来ないバックヤードツアーもあり絶対お勧めです。

　狂言ラウンジは渋谷の一等地、セルリアンタワーの中にあり、上演前にスパークリングワインなどを楽しむことが出来ます。
そしてあの老舗料亭金田中も入っているので、上演の前にゆっくりお食事もできます。
　今回はお一人様参加でしたが、次回はデートで利用したいと思いました。

How to Spend a Stylish Night in Tokyo 粋な東京の夜の過ごし方

Reviewed by: くもじい

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!

そもそも狂言とはなんぞや、、、というレベルの知識しかなく、国語が苦手な私が楽しめるのかという不安がありましたが、行ってみてびっくり、観てびっくり、分かりやすい現代風説明で大満足に楽しめました。
舞台の説明(松の部分にほんとへえ、、、となりました)や演者さんの場の使い方、素晴らしいお声と普通に話すときのキャラのギャップ・・・魅力満載です。テーマも、現代にも通じて訴えかけるものがあり考えさせられました。
バックヤードツアーでは能楽堂が本格的な造りだと知りびっくりしました。ホテルの中にあるけど立派な独立した世界が広がっています。
渋谷にこんな素敵な伝統芸能を楽しめる場所があるとは本当に驚きです。狂言だけでなくもっと伝統に触れたいなと思わされた夜でした。
ながーい歴史を持つ狂言を新しい形で伝えていこうとされる大藏流に拍手です。集まるお客さんもスタイリッシュな方ばかりで雰囲気も素敵でした☆

Laughter over religious debates. 宗論で大笑い

Reviewed by: マンダリン

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.

普段から、歌舞伎を中心に年間30回近くは伝統芸能を鑑賞している我々ですが、狂言はあまりよくわからないのでこの画期的企画である狂言ラウンジを見つけた時には、即参加を決めました。

演目は「宗論」で、落語では観ていますが狂言では初めて。舞台が始まる前に、あらすじをわかり易くするための演出があったり、舞台装置や周辺の説明もあったりと為になることが多く、とても考えて構成されている印象を受けました。

内容もとっつきやすく面白いものを選んでいるため、あちこちから笑いが聞こえ、とても和やかに過ごすことができました。

終演後のバックヤードツアーでは、普段見ることが出来ない裏の部分を、説明付きで見ることができました。一つ一つの設備や所作に受け継がれた意味があることに、感動しました。

残念だったのは、開演前に(別途料金必要ですが)愉しむ予定だった数寄屋 金田中のお料理が、ほとんど売り切れていて買えませんでした。また、チケットで頂いた赤ワインの質が悪く殆ど飲まずに残しました。

総じて楽しく過ごせました。
機会があれば狂言もまた観たいと思います。

能楽堂内では帽子を取りましょう。
被ったままの方が数名いたので、マナーの上でも少し残念でした。

The explanation before the kyogen performance was very easy to understand. 狂言の前の解説がとてもわかりやすかったです

Reviewed by: レーペル

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.

自分には縁がないと思っていた狂言の世界ですが、何も知らないのもいい大人として恥ずかしいし、とりあえず「行ったことがあります」という経験をつんでみようと思いこちらのサイトで予約しました。

日本の伝統芸能の世界って、知ってる人はどこまでも詳しくて、公演にも頻繁に足を運んでいるもの。そういう人だけが集まって濃い会話を交わしているのを勝手に想像していたのですが、この「狂言ラウンジ」はもともと狂言に詳しくない人でも気軽に参加できるようにつくられたそうで、初心者っぽい人もたくさんいたように思います。もちろん行きなれてそうな方もたくさんいらっしゃいましたが、初心者としてはまず安心しました。気軽な感じですが、ホテルなので一応スマートカジュアルくらいの服装をしていったほうが優雅な気分になれると思います。

狂言が始まる前に、40分くらい「狂言とは何か」という解説があったのですが、これが、笑いっぱなしのユーモアたっぷりの内容でした。狂言＝お笑い、と言ってもいいくらいの楽しさ。面白いだけでなく、舞台の見どころや、役者さんの動き、「ここで拍手をします」といったタイミングなど、初心者には知りたかった情報がたくさん。これがなかったら、本番で困るところでした。
