I would like to experience it once, a mysterious party on the street of Ginza. The Golden Spring Festival Tiger's Roll!

Did you know that a Noh festival called "Noh Noh Kinharu Festival" is held in Ginza once a year in August?

Various events such as Noh lectures and parent-child experience classes will be held around Kinharu-dori in Ginza for five days. The big bird is the street dedication Noh performed on Kinharu Street!



The precious performances performed in the dusk are truly worth a look. I would like to see it once....But I don't have much information in advance so I can't get back....I think there are some people. For such a person! This time, I would like to briefly introduce a series of flows for observing the street dedication Noh.



IMG_4149.jpgIt's Kinharu Street, the venue for the Golden Spring Festival. The location is as follows. The station is close to Shimbashi.

It is free to visit Noh at the venue, but since it is usually a full thanks and you will not be able to enter the venue, you will receive a numbered ticket (seat reservation ticket) from the person in charge in advance. A numbered ticket will be distributed per person on Kinharu Street from 4:00 pm on the day....But it's probably too late to go at four o'clock. At 2 o'clock, there are already about 10 waiting queues (however, this waiting column is voluntary, and the operation will maintain it after 3 o'clock).



It's this procession at 4:00 pm when the distribution starts!

The block is lined up all the time.



If you get the numbered ticket safely, you're free to rest. It's okay if you're back to your seat by five forty-five p.m. The performance starts at six p.m. If you do not return to your seat by time, the reserved ticket will be invalidated and will be handed over to others.

Near the venue, Toyo Iwaine (very recommended!) There are many things, so there is no shortage of walking until time.



Here's the point!



The numbered ticket is a seat reservation ticket, so the person in charge will adjust when distributing it. You may ask your preference in a vacant seat. However, there is also a balance such as the number of consecutive numbers, so it is not always possible to say that "it is better to line up early".

First of all, in the front row, people involved and schools sit down. In general, you will sit in a vacant seat after that. Therefore, there is a great possibility that "one person who came later" will be a better seat than "the three people who were lined up earlier".

In addition, if there are vacant seats even after the start time, those who do not have a numbered ticket with reserved seats will be passed sequentially. And the vacant seats are "seats related parties". Then, the person who happened to be there without being lined up at all and went to the front row! ! What a thing can happen. In the unlikely event of such a disappointing situation, don't get angry...Don't be sad...I also need Men Tal (laughs).



Even in narrow passages between seats, those who do not have a numbered ticket will sit on a cushion and watch. Fortunately, you may be able to go to the front row. Conversely, if the timing is right, there is a possibility that you can tour without waiting for a numbered ticket.



Well, it's the venue that has been set up.

An altar made in the back.

It is a bit difficult and difficult to understand to take a picture of the entire venue with a camera, so please take a look at this overall picture.

It is such a arrangement, so you may understand somehow, but it is basically not so good from the general audience! ! ! This is inevitable because the Golden Spring Festival dedication is not a box office but a Shinto ritual, and there are schools. However, as "I can't see it more than I thought", you can see it roughly, and there is a kneading procession at the beginning, so you can see the performers up close there!

Shooting is prohibited once the performance starts. Some people keep taking pictures even if they are warned, but I think it's a bad act to take pictures of Shinto ritual casually without permission....。



The performance time is about an hour. You can enjoy valuable performances that you can not usually see with commentary from experts. Anyway, I'm overwhelmed by the atmosphere. At the time of encounter, the appearance of stepping on an old performance in the neon lights of Ginza is truly mysterious. There is a sound of shadows and clothing, and even if you can't see the performer, there may be something that can be transmitted.




After the performance, visitors will also visit altar.

I have to get a seat with a lot of trouble....There is a hurdle, but I think it will be a valuable experience. Think about willows in Ginza.

You can also get a nice brochure.
