This is a limited time edition of Naga Trip 2019, a collection of 22 experiential tourism programs.
On Wednesday, June 26, just five days before the opening of the event, we held a briefing for the organizers of Nagatrip 2019 at Renessa Nagato.
On this day, there was about a 50/50 balance between those who continued to participate as organizers from the previous meeting and those who were attending for the first time. While introducing ourselves and our programs, we exchanged opinions in an atmosphere similar to a cross-industrial exchange meeting.
After the briefing, a monitoring tour of the "Explore Behind the Scenes: Kabuki Nariwari Tour" organized by Renessa Nagato was held. First, participants stood on the stage and looked at the bleachers while receiving explanations of the various facilities.
Although the time was shorter than usual, we were able to visit spots that were not seen during the last November's event, and the stage set up with its up, down, and around movements was just like an amusement park attraction.
Visitors can also walk down the hanamichi to experience what it feels like to be a Kabuki actor, experience a stage production, and even have their picture taken in Kabuki costumes during the performance.
This was the first time that the organizers were able to enjoy the event as monitors.
It was a time to learn a lot about how to entertain guests.
At the end, a group photo was taken with "Matsuhame" in the background. We are just a few days away from the opening of "Naga Trip 2019!
