Kazui's Kabuki-za Gallery & shopping tour
Kazui's Kabuki-za Gallery & shopping tour
Kabuki performances tend to be about 4 hours long and often involve long queues for one-act tickets, so before you go to all that effort, join this tour of the Kabuki-za Gallery and learn everything you need to know about Kabuki! The tour begins with a "What is Kabuki?" talk over Japanese tea and sweets at a tea shop with rooftop garden before exploring the Kabuki-za Gallery. Your guide, Kazui, will show you her precious 150 year old woodblock prints!
At the gallery, you will be shown props and costumes used for the shows and enjoy short films of Kabuki performances. There are hands-on activities such as a chance to play the classical instruments. This will give you a wonderful experience if you are unable to attend a live performance.
