Private tour

This is an opportunity to deepen your understanding and enjoyment of Kabuki in a private group before going to the theatre and taking your place in the best available seats which we selected for you based on our experience. The lecture is more detailed and comprehensive at 1 hour 20 minutes as opposed to the 40 minutes regular tour and premium tour lecture.

This is a private and personalized tour especially for you and your group.

Both Kabuki-za theatre tours and The National Theatre tours are available.

This private tour will be tailored to your interests and knowledge. We cater for any type of group including but not limited to: families with children, Kabuki first-timers, seasoned theatre goers, theatre specialists etc.

We offer you the following services package:

▪We help you navigate the exclusively Japanese performance schedules so you can relax and enjoy.

▪We help identify the best show for you based on your interests and schedule.

▪We purchase the best available tickets in each grade for you.
