Kabukiza Theater

Kabukiza is a perfect place for kimono.
Its history dates back to 1899, in the Meiji era.
Kabukiza has been renovated five times following the Great Kanto Earthquake and the air raids of World War II.
Standing among the office towers, the current theater will give you an extraordinary experience (^-^)
