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.
While temples and traditional activities in Kyoto are wonderful for adults, they can sometimes feel less engaging for children, students, or young couples — especially during the quiet hours between sightseeing and dinner. 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. With multiple appearances at major Japan festivals in the U.S., their dynamic performances leave a lasting impression.
Public transportation options are available nearby. Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries. Not recommended for pregnant travelers. Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Suitable for all physical fitness levels. Infants are not allowed, as the ninja show includes scenes requiring silence and the rock concert involves very loud sound.
The venue is located just north of Chion-in Temple’s main gate, along the main street that runs north from Yasaka Shrine in Gion.
It’s in a building next to an okonomiyaki restaurant.
