- Cigdem Cakci RobertAugust 4, 2016Get an english guide and hang it to the backside of the front seat. Even though you have a seat from the front rows, get a pair of binoculars to throughly observe facial expressions of actors.
- Melissa DuffyApril 10, 2016Front row seats are the best for a four hour show. But if you want something cheap and quick, you can get last minute standing room tickets for one show (1 hr long) for ¥1000. English translator avail
- Hide KawanoJune 1, 2013Trivia: the sidings of the rooftop are all engraved with this phoenix design with its head pointing to the right, in exception to this one which points to the left. Find it as a good luck charm(•❛◡❛•)
- Karla DonjuanSeptember 26, 2018You can’t buy tickets in advance or for other people. Arrive 11:15 for the 1 pm show and be there by 12:40 to have a seat, otherwise you will be standing up

- SophiaAugust 6, 2017definitely get the translation machine if you do not speak japanese, as it is quite hard to follow!
- Travel + LeisureFebruary 21, 2014Samurai showdowns, damsels in distress, spirited shouts from the audience—all in a day’s performance of Japanese dance drama. Watch an entire show or buy same-day balcony seats and catch a single act.
- Harumi UNovember 13, 2014It has been 1.5 years since they opened the new building. Right underneath is where you can find souvenir. If you don't have enough time to see the whole show, you can just watch one act

- dawn rivardJune 20, 2015The 1400 yen ticket for standing room is a good sample of kabuki if you don't speak Japanese. You should have opera glasses though.

- Marlene BarronDecember 24, 2018The one act (really more) was a bargain. The play was so so. I wanted singing & dancing. I got a short soap opera.
