Overview
Kabuki is the dramatic theatre which combines music and dance. It is one of Japan’s most typical traditional arts. This performing art contains exciting stories, beautiful scenes and other features that thrill audiences. Throughout its long history spanning hundreds of years, Kabuki has incorporated trends from each successive era, and continues to be a fresh performing art.

English audio guide is included, making the performance easy to understand.
In addition, only at the performance in January 2026, ”Tenugui” (Japanese traditional hand towels) will be thrown from the stage into the audience. If you are lucky to catch it, take home!

Excellent experience
Z3042JOmarias, Jan 2025
Excellent experience! I was especially impressed with the performance of the two main characters, Osumu and Rokusuku, and the talent of the child actor. The three street walkers' dance was witty and highly entertaining; it brought the ancient art of Kabuki closer to the modern viewer. The English audio guide was very helpful. I saw this full version of the play which lasted over four hours (with two intervals), which is a bit taxing foExcellent experiencer a modern viewer. May I suggest that instead of showing full versions the players could perform most famous scenes from two or three plays.
