The principal theatre for kabuki in Tokyo presents the classical dance-drama in a grand hall whose ornate gabled facade, rebuilt several times since the late nineteenth century, evokes a castle keep in the heart of the Ginza district. The current building, completed in 2013 behind a tower, preserves the traditional exterior while adding modern comforts, and single-act tickets let visitors sample a performance briefly. A rooftop garden, a gallery, and a basement arcade of theatre-themed shops extend the experience beyond the stage.
