Minami-za Theater(南座, みなみざ) located on the busy corner or Kyoto



The photo looks not so special, but the building is nice. That figure is like a rich house. It's the Minami-ze theater(南座, みなみざ), which is the oldest theater of Japan playing Kabuki from Edo period(江戸時代, えどじだい) on. And that is still a very famous Kabuki theater with so many new facilities. Because about 20 years ago, that was rebuild to make it more convenient, and also the theater itself was getting very old.

So you can enjoy Kabuki in the great theater. But it's played, of course, in Japanese.
Yeah, but I guess there's no problem. Because I may not understand all the stories. Sure! It's just the feeling belonging to your artistic sense. If you want to try it, please ask us when you come to the hostel!!

Let's study together! :)
