We will hold the event “Kagurazaka Street Stage O-edo Tour 2015” again this year. “Eve” on Saturday, November 14 2015 and “Main Festival” on Sunday, November 15 2015, which showcases the charms of Kagurazaka, a traditional and cultural town resonant with a mixed atmosphere of Old and Modern Tokyo as well as a sense of sophisticated Paris.
Artists from a new face to an expert, of a wide variety of fields and active on the front lines of traditional performing arts, will get together and show you unique performances, with the support by the local people. Any visitor, who is unfamiliar with traditional performing arts, one in younger generation, or a guest from overseas, will surely enjoy those programs.

Last year seventy some local volunteers from Kagurazaka manned the forts, greeting visitors with smiles as they translated for foreigners and supported operations on the day of the event, which attracted approximately 40,000 attendees.

It’s that time of year again for the Kagurazaka Street Stage O-edo Tour, and we could use your help. Interested in coming out to enjoy the Kagurazaka Street Stage O-edo Tour 2016 Main Festival while lending a helping hand? We could use your support!
