The World's Oldest Orchestra & Miko Dance at Meiji Jingu

Inside a ceremonial hall located deep within Meiji Jingu, you'll experience Gagaku, one of the world's oldest orchestral music traditions, together with a graceful Miko shrine maiden dance, all from up close. This is an authentic and time-honored Japanese tradition. The guest who takes part in this ceremony is deeply moved by the uniquely Japanese sounds, the grandeur of the palace-like hall, the beauty of the traditional Japanese attire, and more. Unfortunately, photography is not allowed inside the shrine hall, so I can't show you what it looks like here. Please come and experience this elegant, beautiful, and breathtaking world with your own eyes. You won't just watch this ceremony—you'll take part in it. You'll write your own prayer in Japanese and personally hand it to a Miko shrine maiden before joining the ceremony. We will, of course, provide full support throughout. We promise an experience you'll want to share with your family and friends after returning home.
