Best places: Performing arts theaters in Toshima, Japan

😐 Don't go if you don't speak Japanese. you will read many things about soaking in the atmosphere or something. but in the end it's just s guy or a girl holding a monologue followed by the next guy or girl really not much to soak.

👍👍 Oh my wow!! This show was absolutely incredible! I wasn’t sure what to expect when we entered the slightly seedy looking theatre. The lights came down and the curtains drew to reveal the most spectacular clad troop of dancers. The opening number was set in a saloon, with two country girls vying for...

Renowned venue for traditional performing arts, featuring elaborate sets, costumes & makeup.

👍👍 I went to see Kabuki for beginners. It was an excellent introduction and I really recommend. The staff at the theatre were very helpful. We used an audio device which was perfect. It was exactly in time with what was happening on stage. The performance went into how Kabuki is performed, the symbols,...

Plays & festivals are showcased in this established, intimate theater with an unpretentious vibe.

👍👍 This is a small theater about 5 minutes from Shimokitazawa Station. It is a sacred place that became Shimokitazawa, a theater town. Many famous theater companies, actors, and directors were born here. Although it is a long-established small theater, it still hosts challenge performances by talented...

👍 Shibuya Dotonbori is a small Strip Theatre in the Dogenzaka district of Shibuya. Strip Theatre's are pretty much how the name sounds - a meld of stripping and theatrical dance performance, with some class and a removal of sleaze. Think of it as cabaret with nudity. If you come to a strip theatre e...

👍 It is the only strip theater in Shinjuku and is an affiliated store of Asakusa Rockza. It is also close to Shinjuku Ward Office. The seats are arranged so that you can easily see the stage, but the lights in the frontmost seats are a bit bright (backlit). There are also female customers, and it is...

👍 ・両国駅から近くに着きましたら「セブンイレブンの奥」にあります。駐輪場もかなりの台数あります。 ・客席170席近くの小規模劇場です。最前列の舞台との距離は至近で、傾斜はかなり緩いため自由席であればできるだけ小柄な方の後ろに座ることをお勧めします。 ・今回見学の舞台は自由席で6割ほどの入り。舞台や隣との距離...

😐 駅から程良い距離で好きな小劇場です。4つの小劇場が住宅街の中にあります。なかなか味わいのある劇場で良い作品が上演されることが多いと思います。付近の住人の方に迷惑とならないようにマナーを持って観劇に出向いてほしい劇場です。 2018/3/23 「背中をみせて」 観劇 2018/3/31 「ゾロ」 観劇 2018/7/11 「同...

😐 落語など古典芸能ではマイク無しでも声が通る広さで、演者と距離の近さを感じられる良質な劇場に思います。ただ、コロナ禍のために外扉を開いているのでしようか、救急車の音や外の喧騒が丸聞こえで、折角の落語が興醒めでした。残念。

Inventive hostel offering a bar, a teahouse & basic tents in a lounge, plus movie nights.

👍 受付、物販は1階入口。階段を上がり2階が劇場。客席後方から入ります。 トイレは1階。 舞台と客席が近く、役者さんの迫力を感じ楽しめる。 最前列は、高さの低い椅子になる事も、、 観劇しやすい劇場です。

👍 11:00開場、11:30入場料支払、12:00開演のストリップ劇場です。 踊り子さん５人で一日４回公演を行います、基本の入場料は¥5,000ですが早朝(13:00まで)は¥4,000、大学生は終日¥4,000です。 かなりコンパクトな劇場で席は２７席ほど、前の方でないと良く見えないかも知れません。 土日祝日は開場からとても混みますが、平日...

👍 劇場は小さいです。客席は段差があり観劇にストレスを感じない。 一番後ろ（3又は4列目）でも十分近いです。 ロビー？がほぼ無く、開場まで入口の外で並びます。
