August Program at the Kabukiza Theatre: Part 1 (August 2026, Third Visit) | Subscription Service 4

A detour to Togeki, then my third Kaidan Botan Doro of the month. Ukon's comic timing savoured through opera glasses, Midori Onoe's perfect ghost, and a tasty discovery at Hanakago. Another wonderful day out!

August Program at the Kabukiza Theatre: Part 3 (August 2026)

An empty auditorium all to myself before curtain, the adorable Matsumushi duo, Tamasaburō's jiuta-mai dances, a Tokyo Kitcho bento at intermission — and a downpour and Kabuki Nyantaro to finish. My night at Part 3 of the August Program.

August Program at the Kabukiza Theatre: Part 1 (August 2026)

A ghost story on Ghost Story Day — Kaidan Botan Dōrō at the Kabukiza. Koshiro's opening remarks had the whole house laughing, Tatsunosuke's ghost was almost too adorable, and the intermission meal at Tokyo Kitcho was a feast. My second visit to Part 1 this month.

August Program at the Kabukiza Theatre: Part 2 (August 2026) | Subscription Service 3

Part 2 of the August Program at the Kabukiza, seen with my flat-rate theatregoing service. Kankuro and Koshiro in Rakuda were comedy at full power, plus the hand-drawn uchiwa display, a discovery about the east box seats, and a pre-curtain medetai-yaki.

In Kaidan Botan Doro, the greedy humans turn out to be scarier than the ghosts. Ukon and Minosuke had me in stitches as the scheming couple, while Tatsunosuke's ghost was almost too adorable. My Part 1 experience from the second-floor front row.
