Last update :

Kabuki is performed all over Japan, but since this theater is dedicated to this traditional Japanese art, Kabukiza is known as its most glorious stage.

The Kabukiza Theatre can accommodate over 1,800 people and features different performances every month. While Kabuki-za might seem a bit intimidating for newcomers, they offer "single act seats" where you can watch just one act, making it accessible for even those new to Kabuki.

Established in 1889, the building has undergone various renovations and rebuilds and is now in its fifth iteration. Connected to Kabukiza Tower, an office skyscraper appearing in the background, it is now in a commercial complex called, “GINZA KABUKIZA”.
The "Kabukiza Gallery" on the fifth floor of the Kabukiza Tower provides an accessible introduction to the charms of Kabuki.

    去年和朋友去银座玩,想顺便体验一下观赏歌舞伎的感觉。一幕见席的票当场就能买到,虽然坐在特别靠后的座位,但看舞台也很清楚。尽管不太懂剧情,但演员的表演很生动,也很风趣的样子很有感染力。舞台装饰特别艳丽,留下了深刻的印象。
