A Short Trip to Traditional Japan

Showcase of Traditional Performing Arts at Haneda Airport, Japan. The Haneda Airport International Passenger Terminal played host to a "Short Trip" to the world of Japanese traditional performing arts in which visitors at the terminal could enjoy an informal taste of some of Japan's unique performing art forms.

Traditional Japanese song and dance was performed on an open stage, including a spectacular lion dance, “shamisen” and “koto” playing, with "Shinnai" ballad singing by strolling musicians. Visitors could also take part in a Japanese tea ceremony, or watch and even try the skills of Japanese musical instrument-making craftsmen.

Empire Entertainment Japan was comprehensively responsible for planning, managing and manning the event which gave those leaving and entering the airport terminal a highly authentic, yet delightful taste of Japanese culture.
