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...

👍👍 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.

👍 宇宙食堂『ギャラクシー神楽』を観劇。 めっちゃ良いお話だった。 劇場内について言うと、椅子が屈曲性のあるメッシュのチューブ状素材でできていて長時間観劇でも比較的見やすいと思う。 階段がやや?急な分、列毎の高低差があってそれも見やすさにプラスになっている。

👍 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...

😠 I genuinely thought it was stupid. the introduction with the snake was long-winded and unnecessary. once we were able to enter the actual theatre, i was confused that we got 3D glasses when there were actors on the stage. the actors were both decent, but the material lacked the heart that I've come...
