★The Long-Awaited Polynesian Cultural Center★
I used to learn Tahitian dance and practiced the more intense Otea dance, so I really wanted to see a show in its original setting! This time, with limited time, I thought I could go if it was just an evening show, so I signed up for the "Twilight Deluxe," which includes a buffet dinner and evening show. I highly recommend the transportation service! This is because you get to hear a lot of interesting trivia! The bus guide was a student from the university next to the Polynesian Cultural Center. This time, it was the youngest Japanese person. Since the sales from the Polynesian Cultural Center go towards scholarships for that university, many of the waitstaff in the buffet area and the guides were students as well. Everyone was friendly, and it was fun to interact with people from various countries!
Oh, and on the bus, we learned about the meaning of "Aloha," various movie locations, the Tunnel of Happiness, Turtle Island, the Rainbow Sea, etc. I think the content may vary depending on the guide, but I gained a lot of knowledge about Hawaii!
Then we arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center! First, we had a buffet-style meal. Depending on the course, the venue is divided into two areas. Since we had the deluxe option, there was also luxurious beef. There were dishes made with taro and Hawaiian-style food, and the desserts were colorful and beautiful, which really boosted my spirits.
We had free time until the show. If you finish your meal quickly, you can also go shopping! And!! The show was incredibly powerful from the third row! Since we were on the aisle, the performers came and went right by us. I could feel the breeze on my skin. The show was like a musical with a storyline, and it was interesting. The music was performed by a live band!!! The natural night glow enhanced the overall effect.
Despite it being a weekday, the venue, which accommodates 3,000 people, was full! It was my first time seeing a fire dance, and I found myself saying "It's hot!" while watching! They really do amazing things like grabbing and spinning fire! There was a break of about five minutes. The deluxe course includes ice cream, which others can also purchase. The bus guide recommended going to the restroom during the break, but since it was a short time, the show started before I finished my ice cream. I recommend going after the show so you don’t miss any part of the story.
The stunning and moving show ended, and we took pictures with the performers on stage. We were able to take commemorative photos with the world’s best fire dancer and the lead performer. It's definitely not a cheap course, but it was more than satisfying and moving! Next time, I definitely want to go in the morning and check out other attractions and facilities as well.
★念願のポリネシアン文化センター★
私は以前タヒチアンダンスを習っていて、激しい方のオテアダンスをやっていた事もあり、
是非!本場でショーを観たいと思っていました。
そして今回時間のない中、夜だけのショーなら見に行ける♪と、「ビュッフェディナー&イブニングショー」がセットの「トワイライトデラックス」を申し込みました♪
送迎込みがお勧めです♪
何故なら、豆知識が沢山沢山聞けるからです!
バスガイドさんはポリネシアン文化センターの隣にある大学の学生さん。
今回は一番若い日本人の方でした。
ポリネシアン文化センターの売上がその大学の奨学金にあてられている為、ブッフェコーナーのウェイトレスさんも会場の誘導係も学生さんが沢山☆皆、親切で色々な国の方が居るので交流が楽しかったです♪
そうそう!バスの中では「Aloha」の意味や色々な映画の舞台紹介、幸せのトンネル、亀島、レインボーの海etc...
ガイドさんによっても内容は変わってくるかと思いますが、盛り沢山にハワイの豆知識が増えました♪
そして、ポリネシアン文化センター着☆
先ずブッフェスタイルのお食事。コースにより二手の会場に別れます。私達はデラックスだったので豪華なビーフも有りました。タロイモ使った料理やハワイらしい物、デザートはカラフルで綺麗で、テンション上がりました。
ショーまでの時間はフリー。食事を早く終わらせればお買い物も出来ます♪
そして!!ショーは前から3列目で大迫力!!通路側でしたので横からも演者さんが行ったり来たり。風も肌で感じられました。ミュージカル仕立てのショーでストーリーがあって面白いです。
音楽は生バンド!!!
自然の夜光が更に演出効果をUPさせてくれます。
平日なのにもかかわらず3000人収容の会場は満席!
ファイヤーダンス見るのが初めてで観ている私が「熱い」って言ってしまう程!火を掴んだり回したり本当に凄いです!!
途中5分位の休憩が。
デラックスコースにはアイスがついています。他のコースの方も購入可。
バスガイドさんは休憩時にトイレがオススメと言われましたが、短い時間なのでアイス食べ終わる前にショーが始まりました。
休憩時に行ってストーリー始まってしまっては勿体無いので終わってから行く事をお勧めします。
圧巻&感動のショーが終わり、ステージ上で演者さんと写真を撮りました。
私達はファイヤーダンスの世界一の方と主演の方と一緒に記念撮影が出来ました。
決して安いコースでは有りませんが、それ以上に満足が出来て感動します!
次回は是非、朝から行って他のアトラクションや施設も観てみたいと思います。

Everything was just perfect! I had the super Ambassador package with a private guide and I really felt privileged and I enjoyed the culture and traditions of the Polynesian people. Every show, every cultural event was organized with great respect and love for the Polynesian natives. I had a dip in the full life of seven similar, but very different, traditions, culminating in the wonderful final show: Ha, a breath of life! I also appreciated the fact that the Polynesian Center is carried out by students of the various islands and that our contribution is to support their studies. This is a great way to spread culture! MAHALO!
Special thanks to Clifton, my personal guide. He is a good hearted boy with a deep feeling for his culture and a deep respect for other people.

I don't remember feeling that much excitement when I visited a long time ago. However, this time, I was extremely satisfied and deeply moved! The students from Brigham Young University, just a five-minute walk away, worked hard to provide guiding services and dance shows, making it a fun theme park that rivals professional levels. There were plenty of attractions, and the children were having a great time playing. I think it's a place that's enjoyable for both elementary school students and adults.
大昔に行った時には、それほどの感動を覚えた記憶がありません。しかし、今回は、大満足!大感動!でした。歩いて5分のブリンガムヤング大学の学生たちが一生懸命にガイドやダンスショーをしてくれていて、プロと遜色ないレベルの楽しいテーマパークでした。アトラクションもたくさんあり、子供たちも大喜びで遊んでいました。小学生でも、大人でもとっても楽しいところだと思います。

Our tour of the island was very enjoyable. Very happy to see the Pineapples growing, and the lay of the land. The guides were prompt and the guide at the Centre, was especially polite. (Congrats to them, too, for indicating they do not except tips.) We visited three villages but I've done these without a guide and on my own, saw all six villages in the time he took us to three. I know time is spent gathering people and passing out leis and explaining procedures, but this did detract from what we could experience. I would suggest that at the Center, folks are given the option to go with the guide or go on their own. The luau and HA - Breath of Life show are phenomenal!! We had half a house for the audience and I was so impressed with the quality of singing and dancing, of the performers, that I started the standing ovation. Those students really deserve our appreciation!!

It's a bit far from Waikiki, but the experience can vary depending on the guide. If you have a good guide, you can hear various stories and enjoy sightseeing from the car window. I always opt for the more expensive meals, and they're not bad. The show is enjoyable even if you know what to expect. The vendors sell ice cream along the way, but it can be messy, and I worry about getting dirty if you're sitting on the aisle.
少しワイキキからは遠いですが、ガイドさんによって当たりハズレがあります。良いガイドさんなら色んな話が聞けて、車窓で観光が楽しめる時もあります。お食事は毎回高い方にしています。まぁ悪くはない感じです。ショーは内容を分かってても楽しいです。売り子さんが途中アイスクリームを売るのですが、ボタボタ落ちて通路側に座ってたら汚れそうでヒヤヒヤします。

I went on the night of my arrival in Hawaii. The shuttle service was clear, smooth, and punctual. The venue is located away from the city center, but thanks to the guide's various explanations about Hawaii during the ride, we arrived without getting bored. The meal and the show were separate, starting with the meal. The dining was in a buffet style (we chose the deluxe course), featuring Hawaiian dishes, and the meat and garlic shrimp were particularly delicious. When the show started, we were seated in the second row, and the energy of the dancers was palpable, making for a great spot. There were various dances set to Hawaiian music, which was entertaining. The final fire dance was impressive, and you could really feel the heat of the flames. Additionally, the ice cream served during the show's break was very tasty. After the show, you can take photos with the dancers, which makes for a nice memory. However, they leave quickly, so if you want to take pictures, be sure to hurry!
ハワイ到着日の夜に行きました。送迎は遅れることなくわかりやすくスムーズでした。会場は中心部より離れたところにあるのですが、車内の途中でガイドさんによりハワイについて説明が色々とあったため暇することなくたどり着けました。食事とショーは別々となっており、まず食事から始まりました。食事はバイキング形式となっており、(私たちはデラックスコース)、ハワイらしい料理が出ており、特にお肉とガーリックシュリンプが美味しかったです。ショーが始まり席はなんと2列目でダンサーの勢いが伝わりとても良い席でした。ハワイの音楽にのせて色々な踊りががあり面白かったです。最後のファイヤーダンスは火のあつさを感じながらとてもみごたえがありますよ。また、ショーの休憩でもらえるアイスもとても美味しかったです。ショーが終わった後はダンサーとも写真がとれるので記念になりますよ。ただ、すぐにいなくなってしまうので写真を撮りたい方は急いで下さいね。

On the last night in Hawaii, I participated in the Twilight Deluxe Tour. The night show, which started at 7:30, was incredibly impressive! The title "HA BREATH OF LIFE" tells a story of life being born and passed on to new generations, progressing through Tonga, Hawaii, New Zealand, Samoa, and Fiji, allowing us to enjoy different costumes, dances, chants, and songs from each culture. I particularly loved the Hawaiian performance. The Tahitian dance, with its hip movements, was also captivating, and everything was magnificent. The final fire dance was a fitting climax, and everyone gave a standing ovation.
During a break, a dessert the size of a hand was served (a giant ice cream on top of cut fruits), and those in the deluxe seats could exchange their tickets for it. Some people in the standard seats misunderstood and lined up to get ice cream, but it was said to cost $5. We couldn't finish it due to the quantity and time constraints.
Regarding transportation, the voucher mentioned the tour operator in English, but the guides spoke Japanese, which was great. On the way there, the bus provided a meaningful experience as they showed photos on a tablet while giving a tour. The time was indicated as 1 hour and 15 to 30 minutes, but it seemed to include chronic traffic congestion on the way there, while the return trip didn't take as long.
One disappointing aspect was that we, who boarded the bus first, had to wait quite a while for others to be picked up, and due to the congestion in Waikiki and traffic on the highway (an ambulance also passed), our arrival was delayed, resulting in only 40 minutes for the meal. Drinks could be ordered at our seats for free, and I thought I could take my time getting food, but in the end, I had to rush to eat. The buffet was not crowded, but it might be better to fill a plate and sit down to enjoy the main dish before leisurely moving on to dessert. However, don't forget that there is dessert during the show's intermission.
ハワイ最終日の夜にトワイライト・デラックスツアーに参加しました。
7:30から始まるナイトショーは迫力満点 !!
HA BREATH OF LIFEというタイトル通り命が生まれ、また新しい命に受け継がれるストーリーで順にトンガ・ハワイ・ニュージーランド・サモア・フィジーと構成が分かれて進むので異なるそれぞれの衣装とダンス、掛け声・歌が楽しめました。
私はハワイアンが一番気に入りました。腰を振るタヒチアンダンスも見応えがあり、どれも見事なものでした。最後のファイヤーダンスは締めくくりにふさわしく大盛り上がりで、皆スタンディングオベーションでした。
途中で休憩が入り片手を広げた程の大きさのデザート(カットフルーツの上に巨大なアイス)が運ばれて来てデラックス席の人はチケットに引換券が着いているので交換できました。スタンダード席の人も勘違いされアイスをもらう為、並んでいた方がいましたが、5ドルと言われていました。私達には量的にも時間的にも食べ切る事はできませんでしたが。
送迎については、バウチャー(予約券)にツアー催行会社(英語)とありましたが、ガイドをして下さった方々は日本語OKでしたし、行きのバスではタブレットで写真を見せながら観光案内までしてくれて有意義な時間でした。
時間は1時間15分~30分と案内されましたが、行きの慢性的な交通渋滞を含んだ時間みたいで、帰りはそれ程の時間はかかりませんでした。
残念だった事は行きのバスで一番先に乗車した私達は他の方のピックアップにかなりの時間待たされワイキキ界隈の混雑、高速道路の渋滞(救急車も通りました)の影響で到着が遅れた??のか、食事時間が40分だった事です。
飲み物は席でオーダー(無料)できましたし、都度取りに行けば、と余裕で考えていた所、結果慌てて食べるはめになりました。ビュッフェは空いていましたが、一度にお皿に盛って着席しメインディッシュを楽しみ、ゆっくりテザートへ、がいいかも・・。でも、ショーの休憩時間にデザートがある事はお忘れなく。

Enjoyed the bus tour, but it gets you there 2 hours after it opens.
The center itself focuses too much on entertainment and not enough on education. It is run by the Morman education system, so one would think if we are supporting the students we in turn would be educated about the various Polynesian cultures around the pacific.

The guide who picked us up at the hotel was a pleasant Japanese woman in her teens. It seems she is an international student at a university next to the Polynesian Cultural Center. It takes about an hour and a half by bus from Waikiki to the Polynesian Cultural Center, but thanks to her excellent guidance, we never felt bored during the journey. Recently, we had only been wandering around Waikiki, so it was nice to enjoy a bit of sightseeing.
Upon arriving at the center, we first had a buffet-style meal. There seems to be a difference in the meal content between the deluxe course and the standard course, and the entrances to the venue are also different. We opted for the deluxe. The Polynesian-style restaurant was very spacious with high ceilings, and we were guided to our seats by group. One drink is included for free. The buffet didn’t have a wide variety, with the main dishes being roast beef and garlic cream stir-fried shrimp and clams. The salad dressing was delicious, and the food was fairly tasty. There were several types of desserts, but they felt a bit too sweet for Japanese tastes. The coconut pudding was the most delicious.
After the meal, we moved to the show venue on our own. By the time we left the restaurant, it was already dark outside, and if you’re directionally challenged, you might get lost even in the short distance of just three minutes. The show venue is a large semi-outdoor dome that can accommodate 2,700 people. With the deluxe course, you get seats in the front, while standard course seats are in the back. The show features over 100 dancers and is quite impressive, with tiered seating that allows those in the back to enjoy it as well, but if possible, I recommend the front seats where you can clearly see the expressions and sweat of the performers. Additionally, with the deluxe course, you can enjoy a sorbet during the intermission, which costs $5 if purchased.
The show has a storyline and tells an emotional tale of the chain of life. As the location changes to Tonga, Hawaii, New Zealand, Samoa, Tahiti, and Fiji, dances from each place are performed in succession. The fire dance performed by a few people in the latter half was particularly powerful and wonderful. The show, filled with laughter and tears, is definitely worth the hour and a half trip from Waikiki.
ほぼ時間通りホテルまで迎えに来てくれたガイドさんは感じのよい10代の日本人女性
でした。聞くとポリネシア文化センターの隣にある大学の留学生のようです。
ワイキキからポリネシア文化センターまでバスで約1時間半かかりますが、
彼女の上手なガイドで道中全く暇を持て余すことがなかったです。
ここのところ、ワイキキ周辺をうろうろするだけだったので、むしろちょっとした観光が
楽しめて良かったです。
センターに到着すると、まずビュッフェ形式の食事となります。
デラックスコースと、スタンダードではお食事の内容に差があるようで会場の入口も異なります。私達はデラックスをお願いしました。
とても広く天井の高いポリネシアン風のレストランでグループごとに席に案内されます。
飲み物は1杯無料で付きます。ビュッフェはそれほど種類は多くなくメインはロースト
ビーフと、海老とあさりのガーリッククリーム炒めなど。サラダのドレッシングもおいしく、お料理の味はまあまあおいしかったです。デザートは数種類ありましたが、日本人にはやや甘すぎる感じ。
ココナッツのプリンが一番おいしいかったです。
食後は自分達でショーの会場まで移動。食後レストランを出る頃は既に外は暗く方向音痴だと
たった3分ほどの距離も迷ってしまいそうです。
ショーの会場は半屋外型の大きなドームで、なんと2700名収容だそうです。
座席はデラックスコースだと前方、スタンダードだと後方席で見ることになります。
100名を超えるダンサーが出演する迫力のあるショーで座席も階段状になっているので後方でも楽しめるでしょうが、せっかくなら表情や汗もはっきり見える前方席をお勧めします。
またデラックスだとショーの幕間にシャーベットが頂けます。購入すると5ドルです。
ショーはストーリー性があり、命の連鎖が語られる感動的なショーでした。
トンガ、ハワイ、ニュージーランド、サモア、タヒチ、フィジーへと場所が変わる度、
次々その地のダンスが繰り広がられます。
特に後半数名で行われるファイヤーダンスが迫力があり素晴らしかったです。
笑いあり、涙 ありのショーはワイキキから1時間半かかっても見る価値はありです。

Thinking about it, this is my sixth time visiting Hawaii, but I realized I hadn't really experienced the cultural aspects of Hawaii... so I decided to join this tour. The staff guide, Roland, was on the bus that picked us up at the hotel, and it was enjoyable to hear local stories about the area along the way. Since I participated on the day of arrival, I couldn't eat much for dinner, but after enjoying a buffet dinner featuring traditional Hawaiian dishes and plenty of vegetables, we moved to the hall to wait for the show. Our seats were slightly to the right, just two rows from the stage. I was truly amazed by the powerful dance performances. The intense movements were so vigorous that I could see steam rising from their bodies. I learned that there are various forms of Polynesian dance, and it was especially moving for me to see traditional dance up close for the first time. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Hawaii at least once. I participated with my mother this time, and she was thrilled, saying, "This was the best part of our trip!" Next time, I definitely want to join a tour that lasts all day.
考えてみたらハワイを訪れるのも六回目になるのに、しっかりとハワイの文化的なものに触れることはなかったなぁ・・・とふと思ってこのツアーに参加することにしました。ホテルへの迎えのバスにはスタッフガイドのローランドさんが乗り込み到着するまでの間、通る道すがらその土地についてのローカルな話を聞かせてくれたのも楽しかったです。到着日当日の参加だったため夕食はあまり食べられませんでしたが、ハワイの伝統料理をはじめ野菜もふんだんに用意されたビュツフェ形式の夕食を済ませたあと、ホールに移動してショーを待ちます。席は前から二番目のステージに向かってやや右側。迫力満点のダンスには本当に驚きました。激しい動き、力の入ったダンスで体から立ち上る湯気が見えるほどです。いろいろな形のポリネシアンダンスがあるんだなぁ、特に伝統的なダンスを身近に見るのは初めてだったので本当に感動しました。ハワイを訪れるなら一度は訪れるべき、と皆さんに薦めようと思います。今回は母と二人で参加しましたが「今回の旅行で一番良かった!」と大喜びでした。次はぜひ一日楽しめるツアーに参加したいと思っています。

This is my third time participating. I was excited to join after three years. Compared to before, many facilities have been renovated and look beautiful, but it feels like the scale has become too large, and I found myself feeling more in tune with the Polynesian atmosphere in the past. I was disappointed that there were no performances from various countries on the floating stage like before. The final show was very satisfying, and I was pleased. For those participating for the first time, I think it offers a lot of great experiences.
今回で三回目の参加です。
三年ぶりの参加でワクワクしながら参加しました。
以前と比べて色んな施設がリニュアルされていて、きれいになっていたのですが、規模が大きくなりすぎて、何かにつけて昔のほうが、よりポリネシアの雰囲気になじめたように感じました。以前のように水の上に浮かべた船の舞台で、いろんな国のダンスなどのパフォーマンスがなかったのが残念でした。
最後のショーは大変満足のできるもので、満足しました。
初めて参加される方には、色んなことが経験できて、良いと思います。

I made a reservation for this tour because I heard you were coming to Hawaii. When I first booked, I mistakenly got the pickup time wrong for the shuttle bus. I didn't receive a call from you, and when I inquired right away, I was told there would be a 100% cancellation fee. I felt it was very disappointing because if I had joined the group on-site, I would have had enough time to enjoy the activities and dinner show. Since it’s not a cheap course, I still feel regret and wish for at least a partial refund. I thought there might be some response, so I made a second application... Looking back, I realize that I could have made it on time by taking the city bus during the first attempt. I urge Veltra to improve its response. The content at the cultural center was very good. The final show, in particular, is definitely worth seeing.
前回お客様がハワイにいらっしゃるとの事で是非このツアーをと思い予約をさせていただきました。最初予約をした時に送迎バスでの待ち合わせの時間を間違えてしまい、そちらからお電話をいただいた訳でもなく、こちらからすぐに問い合わせをしましたが、キャンセル料金100%と言われてしまいました。現地での集合にすれば十分にアクティビティやディナーショーまで見学ができたと思い非常に残念でなりませんでした。安いコースではないので未だに残念で一部でも返金していただきたい気持ちでいっぱいです。何か対応があるのではないかと思い2回目の申し込みをさせていただきましたが。。1度目の時は市バスで行けば十分に間に合ったんだな。。と改めてveltraさんの対応に改善を求めます。文化センターでの内容は非常によかったです。特に最後のショーは見る価値が十分にあります。

The Polynesian Center provides a learning environment rich in Polynesian culture. I enjoyed riding the canoe and watching the luau.

A must see experience for anyone visiting Oahu!
The Polynesian Cultural Center is an Awesome and Amazing Experience!!
Highly recommend to pay the extra for the Super Ambassador Package, We had reserved front row seats for every show and never had to wait in line, it’s well worth it.
The whole day was Fantastic! And the best part of this awesome experience was the “Breath of Life" Night Show after dinner was amazing!!
I would Love to come back...

The National Museum of Ethnology located in Osaka's Expo Commemorative Park is also worth mentioning; it's a wonderful theme park where you can learn about the history and culture of Polynesians who crossed the vast Pacific Ocean! I was particularly impressed by the introduction to the indigenous people of New Zealand. The unique dances left a lasting impression on me. The 90-minute luau is composed of an emotional story reminiscent of a Shiki Theatre production, connecting to the fire and water shows of Las Vegas. Additionally, it's operated as a nonprofit organization aimed at providing scholarships for students, and despite 80% of the staff being students, I was moved by their professional performance. It's a place I would love to visit again!
大阪の万博記念公園内にある国立民俗学博物館にも紹介がありますが、太平洋の大海原を渡ったポリネシアンの歴史と文化が学べる素晴らしいテーマパークですね!特に感銘を受けたのはニュージーランドの原住民の紹介施設です。独特のダンスは印象に残りました。90分のルアウは劇団四季ばりの感動ストーリーで構成されており、火と水を使うラスベガスのショーにもつながります。また運営がNPOであり学生の奨学金を目的としており、スタッフの8割が学生であるにも拘らずプロフェッショナルな演出に感動しました。再訪したい施設ですね!

Last year, my mother and I participated in the All Day Deluxe for the first time. The excitement from that experience is unforgettable, and we talked about how we definitely want to go again. This year, we signed up for the Twilight Standard in the evening.
On the shuttle, we were able to meet the same guide as last year, who provided a fun and engaging tour of Hawaii with jokes, making the journey to the cultural center enjoyable and never boring.
We arrived at the cultural center smoothly without any congestion. This time, we were able to watch a 4D movie that wasn't available last year. Unfortunately, the narration was in English, but I felt the stunning views and excitement as if I were flying over Hawaii.
Compared to the Standard, the Deluxe meal had many more options (including desserts), and the variety definitely enhances the satisfaction (laughs). The seating for the show also allowed us to feel the energy from the stage, and during the break, they served American-sized ice cream, so for those who want to fully enjoy the experience, I personally recommend the Deluxe.
The powerful dance and breathtaking performances that can only be experienced here were incredibly moving. There are English explanations during the show, but it is a wonderful experience that people of all ages can enjoy, even if they don't understand English.
去年初めて母と二人、お昼からのオールデイデラックスに参加させていただきました。その時の感動が忘れられず、次も絶対行こうね。と話し今年は夕方からのトワイライトスタンダードに申込みしました。
お迎えの車では去年と同じガイドさんに会うことができ、冗談を交えながらハワイのご案内をしてくれ、カルチャーセンターまでの道中も飽きずにとても楽しく過ごすことができました。
途中、混雑もなく順調にカルチャーセンターに到着。去年はなかった4Dの映画を見ることができました。残念ながら、その回は英語での説明でしたが、空からハワイを遊覧しているかのような景色と迫力を全身で感じました。
スタンダードと比べ、食事はやはりデラックスの方が種類も多く(デザートも)、選択肢が多い分満足感がちがいます(笑)。またショーの席もステージの熱気が伝わり、途中休憩の際アメリカンサイズのアイスがでるので満喫したい方には個人的にはデラックスがおすすめです。
ステージから伝わる迫力あるダンスとここでしか感じることのできない圧巻の演技にすごく感動しました。途中、英語の説明が入りますが、英語が分からない方でも年齢を問わず楽しむことができる素晴らしいショーです。
