    Kabuki Theatre, Ginza

    Posted by BobbyPeru 28 October 2005

    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.
