Shinbashi Enbujo Theatre

Shinbashi Enbujo Theatre is five minutes on foot from Kabukiza Theatre. It was opened in 1925. At that time, in Kyoto and Osaka, Enbujo and Kaburenjo existed as a place to show local dances. In hope of having such place also in Tokyo, Shinbashi Enbujo Theatre was established. The present building was remodeled in 1982. It is a little smaller than Kabukiza Theater, but has a calm atmosphere. At Shinbashi Enbujo Theatre, Kabuki is performed several times a year. By the way, Super Kabuki Ⅱ "One Piece" was performed for the first time at Shinbashi Enbujo Theatre. Shinbashi Enbujo Theatre is attracting attention with, for example, a new Kabuki "NARUTO" to be performed in this year.
In addition to Kabuki, a wide variety of genres, such as Shinpa (new school play), Shochiku New Comedy, Shingeki (new dramas in modern Japan), and musicals, are performed. Tickets can be purchased on the site introduced above. (Both upper and lower pictures: © Shochiku)
