Great opportunity to experience traditional puppet theatre in Japan. They provide an English translation of the play for you to follow along with. No photography or videography is allowed during the play. Shows are short sections of an entire play and all the narration is done by one person sitting to the side. It’s fascinating to see the vocal range of the narrator and how realistic the puppets movements look! The only downfall is the shows are a little short so I would recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Set against beautiful Fukura Bay, Awaji Ningyo Za offers a magical entrance into the captivating tradition of Japanese puppetry. The beautiful one-of-a-kind theater offers daily performances with skillfully manipulated puppets, stunning sets, and a mesmerizing fusuma karakuri show. This was the highlight for my trip, with large hand painted sets that move in and out to create stunning pictorial vignettes. There’s nothing like it. The shows are also short and great for families and children. If you have the opportunity to go, don’t miss diving into this special home for Japanese puppetry and Awaji’s rich performance history. English audio guides are available for guests!

素晴らしい伝統芸能が見られます。 国指定重要無形民俗文化財だけあって細やかな動き、表情の付け方などとても勉強になりました。 人形浄瑠璃を見るのは2度目です。前は学校のクラブ活動の人形浄瑠璃を見て、こんなものかと思っていましたがやはり本物は違う。 人形に表情がある。素晴らしい。 鑑賞した戎舞は、戎さんの物語です。短い話ですがとても興味深く鑑賞できました。 演目の前に浄瑠璃、人形の動きの説明があり、最後には記念写真も。 伝統芸能に関わる者として大変勉強にもなりました。 是非とも鑑賞頂きたい素晴らしい伝統芸能です。
