What people are saying about Tokyo

A beautiful space in the Edo cultural complex in the Kanda temple, where the actresses and actors receive you before the show in a cordial and friendly way. The show is unique and I do not want to give details so that you are the one who experiences it yourself. The language is not a barrier and is loaded with symbols of Japanese mythological culture. A moving and good quality show from start to finish

The whole process went as advertised. The device was handed to us when we checked into our hotel. Drop off at the airport was easy—the provided instructions made this very clear. Having internet access in Japan is essential, and this kept us connected everywhere we went. Make sure you bring an external charger, as the battery life didn’t last a full day. But otherwise no complaints.

What a great night. Far exceeded my expectations! The costumes and performances were amazing. It is set in a very nice venue as well.

Great physical games (trampoline game especially) and virtual reality shooters!

A perfect night, actors were so nice, food very good and the show impressive
