TOKYO KABUKI GUIDE is a kind of concierge.



TOKYO KABUKI GUIDE.COM provides you all information about Kabuki in Tokyo.


TOKYO KABUKI GUIDE.COM helps the guests to enjoy Kabuki more and more in the following way.
 -Provision of tickets & pre-performance lecture over the traditional  
 Japanese tea & sweets at the nice tea salon near the theatre

   (Lecture includes the background of Kabuki, the features of Kabuki, some hints on  
    Kabuki show that the guiets will be seeing, etc.) 

 -Selection the
programs for Kabuki tour to enjoy Kabuki casually 

  (Shinbashi-enbujyo theater)
   
 Kabuki show time is usually about 5 hours at Shinbashi-enbujyo theater. Many people
     from abroad feel that the full Kabuki show is too long, even for some Japanese. 
     
Some Japanese select the shows to see because each program in a show is an individual
     story.

     
TOKYO KABUKI GUIDE.COM selcets the programs upon your requests and then tour
    schedule will be set.
 
●Please note that the single show "Makumi" tickets are not operated at Shinbashi-
   enbujyo theater and National theater.

Why did I start this tour?

 Kabuki is a very fascinating performing art. I have enjoyed Kabuki for many years! I love all peforming arts such as opera and musicals. I wish to share my many experiences and knowledge; to show guests a part of the Japan I love as a Japanese person.
 I want many people to enjoy Kabuki as I do, but I think pople can enjoy Kabuki more with some information before you rent the audio guide (ear phone guide).   
      ★read more  FAQS (Q11)


Who is your guide?

 I, Kazui Yabe, a Japanese female licensed tour guide and a volunteer Japanese language teacher. I have seen the Japanese traditional stage arts over 200 times, such as Kabuki, Bunraku puppet play and Noh.
 My home is very close to the Kabuki-za theatre and Tsukiji. I love the neighborhood surrounding the Kabuki-za theatre.
