Basically, performance time schedules are updated by the first day of the performances. However, this is subject to change depending on the performance, and delays are possible.

The duration of the performances depends on the acts and the content. However, usually they run for approximately 4 hours each for the Matinee and the Evening Show.
If you prefer to watch from a Single Act Seat, kabuki dances and short dramas last about 30 minutes to１hour, while long dramas last about 1 to 2 hours.
For more information, please check the schedules on each performance.

Matinee/Evening Show:
There are no age restrictions for customers watching the performances. However, pre-school children who are 4 years of age and over must have a ticket.
(These age restrictions may vary depending on the production so please check the information before purchasing tickets.)
Tickets are not required for infants aged 3 and under if they can sit on the adult's lap. If a seat is needed, a ticket is required.

Single Act Seats:
Children who are 6 years old or under may not use the Single Act Seats.

You can choose to watch particular scenes at an affordable price within a short time. It is an ideal way to enjoy kabuki for both novices and experts, as well as tourists who want to save some of their time for sightseeing.
*Single Act Seats are only available at the Kabukiza Theatre (4th level) and occasionally at other theatres.

Every month the program changes so the time schedule of the performances, the time of ticket sales and the price for the single acts differ. They will be announced by the first day of the performance, so please check the relevant performance information here : https://www.kabukiweb.net/news/.
