Скачать или смотреть Kyoto Kitano Odori 北野をどり

The geiko and maiko of Kyoto, keepers of time-honored traditional dance and music, are concentrated in five kagai (geisha districts) across the city. Each of the districts performs a large-scale dance for the public once a year, and Kamishichiken district's Kitano Odori runs from late March to early April to usher in the spring. Two performances are held each day, at 14:00 and 16:30, and tickets cost 6,000 yen. For an additional 1,000 yen guests can enjoy a cup of green tea and a sweet before the play, which also comes with a commemorative plate. Tickets can be purchased online for those with Japanese credit cards, procured through travel agents, or reserved with assistance at the Tourist Information Center in Kyoto Station.

Kitano Odori Kamishichiken
The Kitano Odori usually consists of three sections: a multi-scene story play, a collection of themed dances, and the ever popular Kamishichiken Serenade finale piece. With the exception of the finale, other performances change each year. Recent story plays have included "Kitano no Mori no Monogatari", a drama that plays out between the animals of the forest around Kitano Tenmangu shrine, "Enishi no Miya", a romance about two lovers trying to prove they are meant to be together, "Naniwa Utazaimon", a comic adaptation of a classic love suicide tragedy, and "Shijō Kabuki", a dramatic story about the woman who invented kabuki theater.
