Shinjuku Ninja Live Show
In the main event, a ninja’s tale of love and honor unfolds on the stage — and all around you! Expect thrilling combat and bold acrobatics from the ninjas, contrasted with somber and stylized kabuki acting that will introduce one of Japan's most beloved arts in a way everyone can appreciate. The “Wadaiko” Japanese drums and classical Japanese music convey to soul of Japan, helping tell a story to be felt more than understood.
The story, a non-verbal theater that draws on timeless traditions, is orchestrated to leave you feeling you've experience the real Japan.
Meanwhile the stunts and skills, from fights to flips, will carry you away as action unfolds both on the stage and all around you.
Session Time
After the main ninja show, Session Time is a sharp contrast: a modern mixed “revue” performance, to showcase the kind of cutting-edge entertainment everyone hopes to experience in Tokyo. You won’t be disappointed!
Expect a cross-section of modern Japanese arts. Alluring “oiran” girls dance to pulsing EDM, lights and lasers cast a spell on the stage, and dynamic stunts keep the excitement high. There’s even a flair bartender slinging bottles of sake!
Photo Session
After the grand finale, don’t rush out of the door! All guests have the chance of a cool photo shoot with the Ninja Show performers. Grab a glowing fan or a samurai sword to capture a special memento of the Shinjuku Ninja Live Show!
There's also a photo corner in the lobby. Be ready to snap some fun pics there while you wait before the show, or on your way out.
