“The night scene” is one of the charm of Kagurazaka. Many elements of its unique culture have developed. Stroll through the stone-paved alleys and black-board walls during this magical time and indulge yourselves in traditional arts at stylish restaurants. We welcome you to discover the charm of Kagurazaka that you can only see at night.

The storytellers' theater in the Edo Period is recreated in the precinct of Bishamonten Zenkoku-ji Temple, offering traditional storytelling arts such as “Kodan”. Various live performances can be enjoyed on the main street of Kagurazaka while the secret world of Geisha unfolds itself in “Kenban”. Take a walk back in time by participating in the stamp rally through the local historic sites and complete your day with the special evening show at Akagi-jinja Shrine. This main festival will take you all over the town of Kagurazaka and let you fully appreciate and experience Japanese culture.
