Watching Kabuki in Japan

Watching a Kabuki performance while you are visiting Japan is not difficult to arrange and very rewarding. Visit the Shochiku Kabuki website to see what is on. It briefly explains the origins of Kabuki and also the practicalities involved in seeing a performance as a non-Japanese speaker. You can follow the performance through an earphone translation. Kabuki can be seen in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto.

For full details visit the Shochiku official Kabuki website:
