To celebrate our upcoming 5th anniversary on April 1, we are delighted to host a special one-day event, “The Blossoms of Naniwa’s Traditional Arts — Daikagura Performance —,” where you can enjoy traditional performance arts and the local flavors of Osaka—a city where cultures of daily entertainment, such as street performance and rakugo, have long flourished.

Daikagura is a traditional Japanese performing art passed down since the Edo period. Historically cherished as a “performance of blessing” performed with wishes for the audience’s happiness, it features a series of captivating stunts—such as spinning balls and wooden boxes (masu) on top of an umbrella—that you can experience up close.

In addition, our lounge service will feature a special menu representing the food culture of Osaka. Please enjoy the authentic “Naniwa flavors,” including “Takoyaki,” the quintessential flour-based dish (konamon), and “Doteyaki,” known for its rich, sweet, and savory taste. These dishes are perfect as a light snack or as an accompaniment to drinks during Happy Hour.
