Great chance to explore Japanese theatre, the Kabuki theatre in Ginza, Central Tokyo sells tickets for whole or part performances. Bear in mind that whole performances can easily last 5 hours and the seats are packed in tight! You are also advised to get a pair of earphones to relay the action in English. One of the plays I saw consisted entirely of a group of noblemen sitting cross-legged on the floor and would have been meaningless to me if I hadn't been being told what was happening! There's often dancing and spectacular fight scenes too.
