Japanese dance cabaret at Asakusa-Kaguwa: included drink, meet-the-performers photos, and a one-hour show mixing tradition with modern beats.
“Fantastic show! Beautiful choreography, music, lights, and sounds. Performers make the first hour before the show truly memorable, photos with them, introductions to the entire cast, and photos afterwards. Definitely get a drink early, even order food (we got there 30 minutes before the curtain call). Simply wonderful.”
