The Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo has launched an Azuma
Odori accommodation package, which includes premium seats for the 85th
Azuma Odori geisha dance performances at Shinbashi Enbujo Theatre in
Ginza, Tokyo.
This cultural accommodation package provides a rare
opportunity for guests to experience the country’s rich
traditional traditions first hand.
Founded more than 150
years ago, Shinbashi Karyukai has been renowned since the Meiji
era as one of the most exclusive groups of geisha in Japan. When
the Shinbashi Enbujo Theatre first opened its doors in 1925, there
were dance performances of Azuma Odori, performed by the geisha of
the Shinbashi Karyukai. The theatre still stages grand events that
give geisha a chance to display their traditional dancing,
singing, and shamisen playing skills honed over many years of
rigorous training.
Available from
29 May to 1 June 2009, the MO Azuma Odori package starts from
JPY 85,000 and includes:
• One night accommodation for two in a
Deluxe Room or a Premium Grand Room
• Two tickets for the 85th
Azuma Odori geisha dance performances held at the Shinbashi Enbujo
Theatre in Ginza, Tokyo
• Shokado bento lunches for two
prepared by six exclusive ryotei restaurants: Tokyo Kiccho,
Shinkiraku, Kanetanaka, Matsuyama, Yonemura and Yamane (served at
the theatre restaurant prior to the show)
• American breakfast
for two at K’shiki all-day dining on the 38th floor
• A choice
of early check-in from 11am or late check-out until 5pm
The package rates assume double
occupancy and are inclusive of a 5% consumption tax. A
10% service charge and a daily municipal accommodation
tax of JPY 200 per person will be charged separately. A
cancellation charge will apply after 29 April 2009.
