New Kabuki-za at night. The Kabuki-za tower, which is an office building that towers over Kabuki-za behind it is not lit-up and can't be seen

The 4th Kabuki-za before the renovation. The sign says '84 days to the renovation'

A new Kabuki play in Sep. 2013. The novel of Yumemakura Baku, 'Onmyoji' (The Yin Yang Master) was made into a Kabuki play and was performed by popular young Kabuki actors

Hanamichi (Flower Road: a walkway leading down one aisle from the back of the theater ) can be seen very well from the West box seats on the 2nd floor

Chushingura (47 Ronin story) was performed in Dec. 2013; This is an annual Dec. event. Here, we can see the famous scene in which the 47 Ronin break into their enemy's house to wreak revenge on behalf of their former lord

Dinner can be served at the box seats on the 1st floor. Free hot tea is provided

I brought Sake 'Haku-san (Mt. Hakusan)' with me from Fukui with 2 choko (sake cup) in the Kutani pottery style

Warm Japanese soup included with the dinner

Makuno-uchi Bento Box ( 3,700 yen ). Meal reservations should be made by the day before the play

Look at that happy face and satisfied smile...it's me drinking sake while watching Kabuki!

東銀座にある歌舞伎の大殿堂、松竹歌舞伎座。その歴史は古く、初代歌舞伎座の創設は1889年まで遡る。現在の歌舞伎座は2013年4月に3年間の改装を終え再オープンした5代目だ。歌舞伎座は日本各地にあるが、この銀座歌舞伎座だけが唯一、毎月1日～25日まで歌舞伎のみを上演している。先日その歌舞伎座の桟敷席で観劇する機会に恵まれた。チケットを取るのは難しいが、1等席の価格に2,000円プラスするだけで食事しながら観劇を楽しめる。一生に一度の贅沢、あなたも如何だろうか? 桟敷体験の詳細は 別の記事 をご覧頂きたい。
