Concept
An authentic samurai performance, a kaiseki course reflecting the seasonal bounty of Shinshu, and the prestigious stage of Matsumotokan.
MATSUMOTO SAMURAI is an experience where these three elements are inseparably intertwined.
The tension of blades meeting in a single instant, the vibrant colors of a dish shaped by the season's gifts, the tatami space wrapped in Japanese paintings and exquisite décor.
All of this converges to offer you a moment that feels like stepping inside a period drama — an experience for all five senses.
SAMURAI
A Performance Alive with the Spirit of Authentic Bushido
This is not a flashy spectacle. In the fleeting moment where blade meets blade, you feel the tension of an era when warriors staked their lives. Through interaction with the performers and guided commentary, you can experience the very "spirit" at the heart of Japanese culture.
Food
A Kaiseki Course Reflecting the Seasons of Shinshu Matsumoto
A kaiseki course that celebrates the local flavors and seasonal ingredients of Shinshu, featuring Hoba-yaki of Kuroge Wagyu. Savor the Japanese tradition of "eating with the seasons" alongside the lingering impression of the performance.
Space
The Prestigious Stage of Matsumotokan
The Hōō-no-Ma on the second floor of Kappo Matsumotokan, enveloped in Japanese paintings and exquisite architectural décor. The tatami room itself conveys Japanese culture through all five senses, elevating both the performance and the cuisine to something truly special.
