THEATERS

There are six theaters in Edo Wonderland Nikko Edomura. Each theater offers a fascinating repertoire recreating the lives and incidents of Edo in varying performance styles from authentic costume drama to traditional performing arts. Live theatre is always a treat to watch, and our professional actors will show you realistic (and sometimes even improvised) swords scuffles. Some plays may make you laugh and some may make you cry. Will your tears be of joy or sorrow? In either case, a handkerchief is a must!

Traditional Japanese Performing Arts Theater

Water is only borrowed from heaven above. The Taifu (head geisha) will stand proudly on the vermillion bridge attended by Tayuu (geisha performers) on her left and right sides. As if to return the water to heaven, the three women will spray water high in the air, repeating a thousand-year old magic performance. Be sure to enjoy watching this fantastic illusion.

Japanese animation has gained countless fans around the world. Its origins appeared over 200 years ago in Edo-period shadow picture shows. From out of darkness, images displayed on traditional paper screens seemed to dance and move using trick mechanisms, transporting viewers mysteriously into the world of the story. By the time the tale is finished, you will have become an Edo local.
