Here’s how it looked last year. A performance at the Central Plaza! I thought that was a hand, but it was a foot😱Such amazing leg strength! It’s cute how it’s flattened right down on the floor, too.
They’ll also parade around inside the building〜. Even people eating at Mister Donut stood up like, “What’s going on? What’s going on?” and started watching😄
Oh, they’ll make the rounds over to the dining floor on the 1st floor of the West Building too〜! People from the other shops also came out to watch over the performance😊
If the timing works out, you might even be able to take a photo together〜?😆
Is there an admission fee?
Free to watch
Finally
Just watching this Shishimai lion dance performance feels like it might bring good fortune your way. It’ll be held three times, at 11:00, 13:00, and 15:00, so if you go shopping that day, you might just be lucky enough to run into it〜😄
