Gion Corner Theater

Hanamikoji Shijo-sagaru, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, Japan

 

Gion Corner presents an easily absorbed, condensed package of traditional Japanese performing arts twice nightly at 7:40p and 8:40p from March to November. The routines are performed by Kyoto geisha and maiko. The show includes bunraku (puppet shows), gagaku (courtly music), koto and shamisen music performances, ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), kyogen (classic comic dramas), tea ceremony and dance, the full gamut of Japanese stage arts. It provides a rather brief but colorful introduction to traditional and classical Japanese entertainment, with interesting settings and brilliant costumes. 250-seat venue. Price: JPY2,800 with English program.
