Kabukiza Theatre

Came here on Sunday for 11 am show (one act). Started queueing at 9:15 and got in as 7th person. Staff is amazing and super helpful. Grab a translation guide for 500 yen!

Get an english guide and hang it to the backside of the front seat. Even though you have a seat from the front rows, get a pair of binoculars to throughly observe facial expressions of actors.

Front row seats are the best for a four hour show. But if you want something cheap and quick, you can get last minute standing room tickets for one show (1 hr long) for ¥1000. English translator avail

Trivia : the sidings of the rooftop are all engraved with this phoenix design with its head pointing to the right, in exception to this one which points to the left. Find it as a good luck charm(•❛◡❛•)

You can’t buy tickets in advance or for other people. Arrive 11:15 for the 1 pm show and be there by 12:40 to have a seat, otherwise you will be standing up

Performances are exclusively run by Shochiku. They are nearly every day, and tickets are sold for individual acts as well as for each play in its entirety. (Wikipedia)

You can enjoy Japanese old-style stage act kabuki, as well as Japanese traditional souvenir shopping in B2 floor. Even just visiting is enjoyable for both locals and tourists .

Better to go, nope, must go place once you’re in Tokyo. Beautiful & fantastic traditional kabuki performances wait you here!! Love here.

Samurai showdowns, damsels in distress, spirited shouts from the audience—all in a day’s performance of Japanese dance drama. Watch an entire show or buy same-day balcony seats and catch a single act .

definitely get the translation machine if you do not speak japanese, as it is quite hard to follow!

It has been 1.5 years since they opened the new building. Right underneath is where you can find souvenir. If you don't have enough time to see the whole show, you can just watch one act

Purchase the ticket to watch one act of the kabuki show! So worth it, and rent the English translation , otherwise it'll be so boring!

Ticket start to sell 1-2 hours before the show, many people are lining up, pronto cafe right next to it is a good place with wifi to rest and wait for the show after purchasing the ticket.

Kabukiza marked the first anniversary since its reopening after reconstruction. The new Kabukiza includes an adjacent office building called Kabukiza Tower.

You cannot use any electronic device during the performance , and cellphone signal is (maybe purposely) limited in the building. Use your phone outside the building.

Tip for tourists : Try the single act play which will cost you Y800-Y1,500. Each act lasts for 30 minutes max. You can also rent audio receivers with English language commentary.

The landmark Kabukiza Theater has re-opened in the Ginza district of Tokyo after a major refurbishment. http://bit.ly/DA_JPKabukiza

The 1400 yen ticket for standing room is a good sample of kabuki if you don't speak Japanese. You should have opera glasses though.

In the middle of the Ginza area, this theater impresses with the Japanese traditional architecture .

The one act (really more) was a bargain. The play was so so. I wanted singing & dancing . I got a short soap opera.

Cool theater in Ginza. Matinees shoes have long lines .

Traditional Japanese theater . Great way to get a glimpse of Japan's old times through an epic performance .

Unmissable opportunity to understand the japanese culture, history and society

Get tix in advance! Last minute will call might end up on the balcony standing room only

KABUKI-za (traditional styles of Japanese drama) theater in under construction now. The newborn Kabuki-za will open in the spring of 2013.

Amazing show, everything in Japanese but fun!

Good also without the audio guide.

Kabuki is opened in the historical building after a long reconstruction, worse to see.

Lots of small pop up shops at the basement level

The story of the show was so stupid and annoing. No break in 2,5 hours, were about to die

気軽にお手頃に鑑賞するなら「一幕見席」がおすすめです。一階正面玄関の左側にチケットを購入し、開演２０分前までに4階ロビーに集合します。演目 によっては1,000円で鑑賞できます。

地下1階にあるベンチ は21時30分頃片付けられ座れなくなります。

初めての歌舞伎鑑賞 にはイヤホンガイドはオススメです(^-^)/…公演中に絶妙なタイミングで解説を入れてくれるので非常にわかりやすいですよ(^o^)…料金700円(保証金1,000円)

1889年（明治22年）に開場。現在の建物は5代目。第5期歌舞伎座 の外観は意匠設計隈研吾氏。低層で和風桃山様式を採用。4階建て全1,964席。高層でオフィスビル 「歌舞伎座 タワー」（高さ145メートル、軒高135メートル。地下4階地上29階建て）と地下広場 「木挽町 広場 」を併設。

Необычное представление , брали билеты на последний сеанс в 8 вечера, билет стоил 1000 йен, места оказались самыми последними. Все очень понравилось

La fachada del edificio es hermosisima

Un très beau théâtre pour découvrir le Kabuki. Résa possible. Sans résa, venir quelques heures en avance pour assister à un acte (1h, ¥1500), vous serez situé tout en haut : prévoyez des jumelles :-s

イヤホンガイドだけど、英語はイヤホンガイドじゃなくて今どきこんなに重いタブレットあるの？ってびっくりするくらい重いタブレットを持たされて流れてくる情報を読む方式に変わってた。そしてイヤホンガイドよりも高い1500円。せっかく舞台を観てるのに、いちいちタブレットなんか読んでいたくないよって思います。すごい改悪

Телефон начал играть рингтон Патимейкер во время представления самураев ... Короч, шик шик, уличный пошелНаХуйЭнсер :(

とにかく、イヤホンガイドを借りることです。一個1,700円かかりますが、返却時に保証金分の1,000円が戻ります。幕間も解説があって、手放せません‼

Bonito teatro

Excelente teatro .

歌舞伎 で『今昔饗宴千本桜』を観た、これが初めての歌舞伎鑑賞 。超歌舞伎 は凄かったし、ペンライト込みの演出にも驚いた。フィナーレで宙を舞う中村獅童と初音ミクには感動。また観たい。

Visita obligada en Tokyo, solo comprar un acto del Kabuki.

平日の一幕見席はほぼ座ってみられます。ただ一幕見席の一列目は手すりがあって見にくいので二列目がおすすめです。

晴海通りに面した当日幕見の列は先着30名分ほどの緋もうせんの椅子が用意されるようになってます。早めに行った方が座って待てます。

「江戸の蕎麦 」の勉強会、ほしひかる先生とお話しと寺西名人のそば 打ち実演と試食。
