Follow our staff through the beautiful Japanese temple garden and along the peaceful approach to a traditional tatami room. Along the way, enjoy the seasonal scenery and atmosphere of Japanese culture.
In the tatami room, watch a Samurai and Oiran dance performance up close. After the show, become Sukeroku and Oiran and experience a scene from the story yourself.
The performers will teach you the movements from the Oiran procession to “Suitsuke Tabako,” the traditional pipe-passing scene. Then perform the scene to music while following their example.
Finish the experience with a memorable photo in the final Sukeroku and Oiran pose. You will also receive an original English guidebook to take home.
Please enter Hondoji Temple through the Niomon Gate and walk straight along the approach for about 3 minutes. Our staff will be waiting for you at the gate marked “Reception” with a welcome board. Please meet us there at 12:30 PM.
