• ― Experiencing Japanese Traditional Culture ― A cultural experience tour where you can enjoy Japanese traditional culture with all your senses while feeling the atmosphere of Nihonbashi. We offer a special time to deeply immerse yourself in the world of traditional culture. The first venue is Tagen Co., Ltd., a long-established kimono wholesaler in Nihonbashi Horidomecho, a short walk down the alleys of Nihonbashi. There you will enjoy a special performance of Japanese dance by Tachibana Sumizo, the headmaster of the Tachibana school. You will experience the depth of traditional performing arts through the delicate movements using fans and the graceful movements of the dance. Next, you will visit a Japanese cuisine experience using seasonal ingredients. You will enjoy the chef's careful handiwork and the colors of the season with all your senses, and experience the spirit of Japanese hospitality and the "aesthetics of food". After strolling around Nihonbashi, you will return to Tagen Co., Ltd., a long-established kimono wholesaler in Nihonbashi Horidomecho, and after changing into a kimono or hakama, you will directly learn movements using dance fans and sword fighting movements under the guidance of Sumizo. A professional photographer will capture the moment and provide you with the photos as a commemorative file. The tour concludes with either a tea ceremony or a traditional Japanese music (ohayashi) experience. As you prepare the tea, you will feel the spirit of "harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility," while enjoying a peaceful time away from the hustle and bustle of Nihonbashi. Alternatively, you can enjoy a traditional Japanese music (ohayashi) experience led by Mr. Satajuro Mochizuki.
