You will never get tired of watching the performance, as there are many highlights such as quick costume changes!

What are the rules for watching kagura?

Do you know how to watch Kagura?
Actually, many Japanese people do not know!
You must watch quietly, you must not eat or drink, you must sit properly…

That’s not true. !!!!!

・I’ll watch it over drinks. ・Eating and drinking in the auditorium ・Talking with friends ・call out to someone ・Leave your seat freely

All of this is permissible. !!!!

What is generally considered unforgivable is permitted.

Kagura is to be enjoyed with God. God has a forgiving heart, so He turns a blind eye to most of the things that flawed human beings do. God is kind!
So let’s have fun with God!

But don’t overdo it or you will be a nuisance to the guests around you.
