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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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。

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

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。
