Dec. 5, Wed. 0:30 - 1:00 (UTC) etc.

Entertainment for everyone!

Entertainment for everyone! Tokyo has an amazing range of entertainment options, from traditional to high-tech. This time we find some places where you can really relax and have a great time.
The theater of robot show in Shinjuku (4 min. 56 sec. )

This venue puts on live shows... with robots. Patrons fill the 90 seats that surround the stage.

The 4,000 yen admission charge includes a bento box, tea and show.
Hand puppet in Yanaka (6 min. 51 sec. )

Now Jordan's going to take in a live show in Yanaka, an old-fashioned Tokyo neighborhood.

The shop owner is Mitsuaki Tsuyuki. He used to teach clay modeling to children, but got interested in hand puppets. So he became an artisan.

Tsuyuki-san's workshop has shelves full of the hand puppets he has made. They all have very detailed facial expressions, down to their wrinkles and each one is captivating.
Bathhouse in Shin-Nakano (5 min. 59 sec. )

Finally, Jordon and Amy stop by a bathhouse in a residential neighborhood.

The owner, Sumihiro Tajima, is a "bathhouse magician". He presents about 600 shows per year at nursing homes, weddings and other venues. Locals treasure this bathhouse has been a family business for about 60 years, spanning three generations.
