Best weekend in Tokyo yet!




This past week has been fantastic, from start to finish. Last Wednesday, I went to the Kabuki theater in Ginza. For those of you not familiar with Kabuki, it is a Japanese form of theater- the costumes are beautiful, the makeup is unique, and the story line was actually quite entertaining. Typically, Kabuki theater runs for several hours, but my group of friends and I decided to attend the 30 minute, 1 act Kabuki play, which was perfect, as we had to listen to the plot, storyline and background information on English language headsets. The Kabuki theater that we went to in Ginza is beautiful and very old. I believe it was built in the late 1880's, and after this month, it will be shut down and refurbished...so no more Ginza Kabuki until 2014. After the theater, we headed on over to the Sapporo Beer Hall for lunch- the Hall is beautiful, and of course, it serves beer, so it doesn't get much better than that!!
