When Kyoto's summer heat or rainy season makes sightseeing uncomfortable, GEAR offers the perfect indoor escape. Cool, comfortable, and completely captivating.
Most temples and shrines close by evening — GEAR is one of the few attractions open after dark, perfect for families and all ages.
Now in its 14th year with 350,000+ visitors, this 90-minute non-verbal show combines world-class break dance, mime, juggling, and magic. Zero Japanese required.
The cast includes a world championship break dancer, a mime artist who won gold at the world tournament, a juggler with Japanese records, and a magician featured across major media — all performing in an intimate 72-seat theater.
Brought to life with projection mapping and color-changing LED costumes. A visual spectacle found nowhere else in Kyoto.
No language. No barriers. Just pure emotion — rain or shine.
