Anmitsu Hime
For a completely offbeat experience while in Fukuoka, catch a performance of Anmitsu Hime. Essentially a Japanese drag show musical, for over 30 years, Anmitsu Hime has attracted all manner of people, from Japanese businessmen to foreigners to groups of girlfriends.
Although it’s only offered in Japanese, the show’s outrageous antics and over-the-top costumes and sets allow even non-Japanese speakers to enjoy the humor and spectacle. Performers love audience participation and may even grab foreigners to bring onstage for one of their numbers.
