All Reviews of Exclusive Kabuki Viewing at the Kyoto Minamiza Theatre

When I passed the Kyoto Shijō Minamiza Theatre, I was immediately drawn to this theater filled with traditional Japanese charm. Minamiza is one of Kyoto's most iconic kabuki theaters. Its exterior has a strong traditional Japanese feel and blends in with the surrounding Kyoto streetscape in a very distinctive way.

This time I only passed by and didn't plan to go inside for a performance, but after reading about the theater, I thought the kabuki viewing experience sounded quite special. I don't usually have many opportunities to experience traditional Japanese performing arts, so I think it would be interesting to see a performance in the theater in person.

I enjoyed how it was presented! Many stories occured at the same time so there was always something to look at. The staff were extremely helpful in explaining things before the show and we had fun discussing our favourite characters!

The “live-action anime” character of it was lovely, the romantic nature of the fireman was fun, and the singing of the “white angel” was lovely.

Truly amazing. The choreography, costumes, set, music etc were fantastic. It was my first time seeing a play like this in Japan and the bar has been set extremely high.
