Tours in Kyoto

This is a truly one-of-a-kind cultural activity in Kyoto: a live ninja action performance and a high-energy rock concert, all in one show — created specifically for international visitors. Held only once a month, this rare event features professional performers with extensive overseas experience.

This show fills that gap with an unforgettable, fun experience that all ages can enjoy. RAIDO is a ninja performance group led by a real female descendant of the Iga ninja. They perform widely across Japan and overseas, including cultural education programs in Hawaii and Indonesia. KANADETE is a rock band blending Japanese aesthetics and powerful vocals.

In Japan, tea ceremony is more than just drinking tea—it’s about experiencing the essence of beauty. While we often associate beauty with outward appearances, in the tea ceremony, we appreciate the inner beauty of nature, which leads us to the concept of "Wabi-sabi." Wabi-sabi is a traditional Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness, influenced by Zen Buddhism. Words like "matcha" and "tea ceremony" are frequently heard in Kyoto, where many tourists come to experience authentic tea culture. Our knowledgeable guides will lead you through Kyoto, sharing the philosophy and traditions of the tea ceremony, while letting you truly feel the essence of "Wabi-sabi." This unique experience will leave a lasting impression you won’t forget!
