Disclaimer
Jasumo provides a specialized facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, assisting with ticket acquisition for cultural events like Europe Kikaku’s 44th Performance “Internet Island Explorer” Tour through authorized platforms like Pia. 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: Japanese-only ticketing systems; Jasumo offers bilingual support.
- Local Platforms: Assistance with lottery registration, payments, and e-ticket delivery.
- High Demand: ~300–1,500 seats per venue and troupe’s cult following create sellout risks; we manage deadlines for prime chances.
Securing tickets is not guaranteed. Book via Jasumo by venue deadlines (e.g., Nov 5, 2025, for Tokyo) for official ¥8,500 pricing to avoid resales. For travel planning, we can coordinate with regional tourism boards.
