Great show
Fabulous show, fairly short but great value for money

Japanese Play
First time going, great experience if you have never seen Japanese theatre. Play lasted 45 minutes which was perfect. The musicians were very good and the actors ranged from 4 to 53 years old. Two hosts, one of whom translates during the introduction. A display above the stage translates the play into english. For the extra coin do the back stage question and photo op, play the instruments and try on the costumes. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the experience.

I booked this on a whim. Good choice.
Book this show. It is stunning. The dancers are volunteers but you wouldn't know it from watching them move. The costumes are bright and elaborate. After the show you have photo ops with the cast and dan try on costumes.

A Beautiful and Stunning Experience
This was a highlight of our trip. I rearranged our trip to be in Hiroshima on a Wednesday night to see a Kagura performance once I read about it, and it was absolutely stunning to see this live. We saw the Shimogouchi Kagura Troupe perform, and they did an incredible job. I can’t recommend this enough.

Amazing
It was an amazing experience for my family. As a Japanese person who grew up in Hiroshima, I used to watch Kagura at summer festivals, so bringing my family to Hiroshima from the U.S. made this a must-have experience on our itinerary. If the dragon had come out during the show, it would have made our son’s night. He was really looking forward to seeing it! But overall, the performance was amazing, and we all had a wonderful time.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hiroshima Kagura Performance Entry Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hiroshima.
How much does Hiroshima Kagura Performance Entry Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $12 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hiroshima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hiroshima Kagura Performance Entry Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hiroshima is not rushed.
Is Hiroshima Kagura Performance Entry Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 59 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hiroshima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hiroshima Kagura Performance Entry Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hiroshima Kagura Performance Entry Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hiroshima Kagura Performance Entry Ticket?
+
Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hiroshima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hiroshima and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hiroshima Kagura Performance Entry Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hiroshima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hiroshima?
+
On Outty we rank every Hiroshima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Peaceful Hiroshima & Miyajima UNESCO 1 Day Bus Tour, Hiroshima Peace (Heiwa) Walking Tour at World Heritage Sites, Hiroshima and Miyajima Day Trip with Itsukushima Shrine & Ferry. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hiroshima?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hiroshima?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Hiroshima Kagura Performance Entry Ticket?
+
Included: Admission tickets. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hiroshima Kagura Performance Entry Ticket?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Hiroshima Kagura Performance Entry Ticket wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Hiroshima Kagura Performance Entry Ticket if the weather is bad?
+
