Overview
Shosoin THE SHOW – Feel the miracle that is here now is the first immersive exhibition showcasing the 1,300-year legacy of the Shosoin, a “treasure house of miracles” in Nara that has preserved over 9,000 artifacts from the 8th century. Held at the Ueno Royal Museum in Tokyo from September 20 to November 9, 2025, this exhibition, supervised by the Imperial Household Agency’s Shosoin Office, features ultra-high-definition projections of treasures on a giant screen, replicas of artifacts like the “Mother-of-pearl and Shidan five-stringed biwa,” and the first-ever reproduction of the legendary “Ranjatai” fragrance, historically coveted by figures like Oda Nobunaga. Visitors can experience the sights, sounds, and scents of these ancient treasures, as highlighted in posts on X for its “mesmerizing visuals” and “cultural depth.” Located in Ueno Park, a cultural hub near Tokyo National Museum and Ueno Zoo, the exhibition offers affordable pricing (¥1,100–¥2,300) and is ideal for tourists. Advance tickets (available until Sep 19, 2025) and a limited-edition Ranjatai fragrance card add exclusivity, but high crowds are expected due to the event’s novelty and the museum’s modest capacity (~500 visitors at a time).

Disclaimer
Jasumo provides a specialized facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, assisting with ticket acquisition for cultural events, including Shosoin THE SHOW – Feel the miracle that is here now 2025, through authorized platforms like Hello Dial. We are not a ticket reseller and do not sell tickets directly. Our role is to guide international customers through the official booking process, addressing challenges such as:
- Language Barriers: Japan’s ticketing systems are primarily in Japanese, posing challenges for non-Japanese speakers. Jasumo offers bilingual support for a seamless experience.
- Access to Local Platforms: Platforms like Ticket Pia often require Japanese phone numbers or IDs. Jasumo assists with navigation and international payment options where available.
- High Demand and Crowds: With a modest venue capacity (~500) and the exhibition’s unique appeal (e.g., Ranjatai fragrance), securing tickets and managing wait times is challenging. Jasumo helps with advance purchases and planning.
Due to high demand, securing tickets is not guaranteed. Refunds are not available except for exhibition cancellation; travel/accommodation costs are not covered. We strongly recommend booking by September 1, 2025, to access advance tickets (until Sep 19, 2025) and avoid resale markups (e.g., ¥2,800 for adults). Official resale options may be available ~5 days prior to peak dates, and Jasumo can assist with monitoring these opportunities. Check the official website for updates on crowd conditions.
