Kabuki Shamisen Music Experience in Kamakura

In this program, you will be guided to the private space of Mr. Shin Ogie, the heir of Ogie Bushi in Kamakura, and you will receive direct guidance on the history of the shamisen and how to play it. In addition, specialized interpreters and guides who are familiar with shamisen knowledge will provide language support.

We will deliver a one-of-a-kind cultural retreat experience where you can enjoy the sound of Ogie's shamisen, which follows the “sound of silence” from the glamorous Kabuki, in the silence of Kamakura.
