Kabuki theater in Tokyo was rebuilt in 2013.If you are beginner, I recommend to see one act. You can enjoy the atmosphere of Kabuki in reasonable price in JPY1,000-2,000 range. There is no advanced reservation service of one act, you need be in line for ticket counter at that day. Please be careful that you cannot buy the ticket for others. If you want to see Kabuki surely, you might want to buy cheket in advace.If you are advanced appreciator, don’t forget to enjoy a box lunch in an interval.
You can check performance list and buy cheket through Kabuki website.
