Kabukiza

The best way to see traditional Japanese theater is to go to Kabuki-za for a single act, or ''hitomaku-mi'', which lasts between one and two hours. This costs around ¥800, depending on the length, and seating is on the fourth floor. An English audio guide describes the play while you watch, it i

s worthwhile at ¥700. You can also see the complete kabuki play, but this is a lengthy affair, and ticket prices can range from ¥4000 to ¥20,000. If it's around mealtime, pick up a ''bento'' at one of the local shops and take it in. The current Kabukiza Theater opened its doors in 2013, replacing the previous building which stood from 1950 to 2010.
