Kabuki-za Theatre

Kabukiza is renowned as a prestigious theater for Japan's traditional performing art, Kabuki. Established in 1889, it witnessed the "Dan-Kiku Era" when famous actors like the 9th Ichikawa Danjuro and the 5th Onoe Kikugoro shone. Overcoming numerous challenges such as the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Tokyo air raids, it continues to thrive as the main venue for Kabuki today.

Notably, it was rebuilt in 1951 based on the design by Yoshida Gojo, and in 2002, it was registered as a Tangible Cultural Asset. The current Kabukiza opened in April 2013, featuring a collaborative design by Kengo Kuma and Mitsubishi Jisho, and is praised for its beautiful architecture.

While Kabuki is performed throughout Japan, Kabukiza is the only place where Kabuki is staged almost every day of the year. Its convenience is another attraction, with the basement level directly connected to Higashi-Ginza Station, making it easy to enjoy souvenirs and meals. The first-floor lobby features a stunning reproduction of the patterns from the fourth generation of Kabukiza.

With over 400 years of history, Kabuki is also listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Its luxurious costumes, grand stage settings, and the exquisite performances of the actors captivate audiences. Kabukiza is a place where one can enjoy all of this and serves as an important symbol of Japanese culture. Even beginners in Kabuki can expand their enjoyment by using the audio guide. Kabukiza is not just a theater; it is a special place where Japan's traditions and culture come to life.
