2. Things to know when choosing
In January, kabuki runs at 2 theaters in Ginza at the same time: Kabukiza and Shinbashi Enbujo. The matinee starts at 11:00 at both, and the evening show starts at 16:30 at Kabukiza and 16:00 at Shinbashi Enbujo.
Frozen has its final performance on January 17. Seats for that day have already ended sale, by lottery for Shiki no Kai members only.
Most central Tokyo theaters are meant to be reached by train, and the Shiki theaters in Takeshiba and Shiodome have no car park of their own. Kabukiza and Shinbashi Enbujo have partner car parks that give theatergoers 1 hour of service (30 minutes at Times Togeki Building, for Kabukiza).
