Short-term Experience ProgramsShishimai (Lion Dance) and Kyokugei (traditional Japanese acrobatics) in Takao
Enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves and Tokyo tradition!
Less than an hour’s train ride from the Tokyo city center, Mount Takao (Takao-san) is a well-loved spot for viewing autumn leaves. At the foot of this mountain, Shishimai (Lion Dance), in which the lions may “bite” people on the head to bring good luck, Kasa-Mawashi (umbrella spinning) and other Kyokugei (traditional Japanese acrobatics) will be staged when the autumn leaves are at their best.
