MK Guide Recommends
Kabuki-za is the main theater for kabuki in Japan, offering daily performances that immerse audiences in the bold makeup, stylized movement, and elaborate stagecraft of this iconic Edo-period art form. Originally built in 1889 and now reconstructed with seismic upgrades while preserving its traditional façade, the theater stands out in Ginza’s modern skyline with its ornate tiled roof and lantern-lined entrance. Inside, the atmosphere feels timeless—red velvet seats, paper lanterns, and a stage that rotates and transforms with mechanical precision. Visitors can buy tickets for a full program or just a single act, making the experience accessible to both die-hard fans and curious first-timers. English headsets and subtitle guides are available, and the attached Kabuki-za Gallery offers behind-the-scenes glimpses of costumes, props, and stage mechanisms.
