Reservations

Open for kabuki performances only during the annual spring Shikoku Konpira Grand Theater run (usually April). Tickets go on sale 1-2 months before through the Ticket Pia system. This is the oldest surviving kabuki theater in Japan, so even outside performance season the building itself is open for paid tours.
