Events & Live Performances
360° Real-Time Drama: “Bridal Procession : A Feast of Cherry Blossoms”
The new signature live show at UZUMASA KYOTO VILLAGE, the “360° Real-Time Drama,” delivers an unprecedented storytelling experience on a scale never seen before. The entire village becomes the stage, where a drama unfolds in real time throughout the day. Once inside, guests encounter ninjas, samurai, and teahouse attendants going about their everyday lives across the village. As they explore at their own pace, visitors witness a day in Edo-period Kyoto, occasionally becoming part of a larger unfolding story as unexpected incidents arise. The spring program features “Bridal Procession: A Feast of Cherry Blossoms,” offering an overwhelmingly immersive experience that invites guests to momentarily forget the modern world. Visitors are invited to step into the story and savor this unforgettable journey.
[Adults-Only Evening Events: Discover Edo-Period Kyoto After Dark]
As part of this renewal, UZUMASA KYOTO VILLAGE will introduce nighttime operations for the first time. From dusk onward, as the atmosphere deepens and becomes even more immersive, exclusive adult-oriented experiences for guests aged 18 and over will be unveiled. These evening programs offer a rare opportunity to experience the refined nightlife of Edo-period Kyoto—an aspect of the town unavailable during the daytime.
①Night-Only Event: “Cho-Han Gambling” (18+ Only)
Step inside an Edo-period gambling house, where the traditional game of Cho-Han comes alive night after night. As the dice are shaken and spirited calls echo throughout the room, the air fills with anticipation and excitement.
Guests are invited to participate—not by wagering money or valuables, but by placing their hopes and wishes on the outcome.
②Night-Only Adult Experience: “The Torture House” (18+ Only)
A special nighttime space open exclusively to adult guests. After nightfall, visitors are transported to the Edo period, where they are suspected of involvement in an incident and led into the Torture House.
Inside, guests encounter a collection of torture instruments meticulously recreated by the studio’s professional art team. Through an immersive interrogation simulation—conducted without any physical pain—visitors gain insight into the darker side of Edo-period justice and investigative practices.
Ninja Show: ～NINJA MISSION～
UZUMASA KYOTO VILLAGE’s popular ninja show has been redesigned as a non-verbal performance, making it easy for visitors from around the world to enjoy. The show features exciting acrobatics and classic ninja skills such as duplication and transformation with powerful lighting, sound, and visual effects.
Kimono Experience
Period Drama Costume Experience
Transform into the characters you’ve seen in period dramas or into iconic Kyoto figures such as a maiko. From feudal lords and Shinsengumi warriors to oiran courtesans and geisha, a wide range of styles is available to match your preference. As you stroll through the village in full costume, you step into a story from 300 years ago. With every photo you take, the Edo period comes vividly to life.
Prices start from JPY 5,800.
Cultural Experiences
Japanese Tea Ceremony
The tea ceremony has long been passed down in Japan as an important cultural tradition. In this experience, guests first enjoy traditional sweets while watching a tea master prepare tea with graceful movements. Participants then use a tea bowl and bamboo whisk to make their own matcha, ending with a special moment to enjoy the tea they prepared themselves.
