The Kabuki-za theater in Ginza is easily accessible at the Higashi-Ginza subway stop. Exit 3 leads you directly in front of the theater. The box office is on the right as you face the theater; I opted for a full evening performance which lasted close to 5 hours with intermissions included. The evening performance I saw was composed of three... more

Some performances are closer to "straight drama" and some pull out all the stops as a unique performance art. I was happy to sit through a day's worth... more

I was in Tokyo in March. My travel agent recommended I stay in Ginza so that I could easily walk to the Kabuki-Za and purchase my tickets. I saw most of the matinee and I loved it. The music, the costumes, the colour. It was AWESOME. I didn't bother with the headphones and I was fine without them. I read... more
