Kibikicho Square-Kabukiza Underground

[Apricot peony] March 14, 2013 14:00

The new Kabukiza Theater is now less than a month to open.
The installation work of the tower in the front has been completed, and the mood is rising above.

As soon as possible, the subway Higashi-Ginza Station and the basement of the building were connected, and escalators and elevators were installed, making it very convenient.

And the nice thing is that a very fun space called "Kibikicho Square" was born underground!

This plaza is said to be considered in response to disasters, but if you go out of the subway ticket gate and go a little further, the space will first spread out, and from the high ceiling, the large Japanese lantern marked "Kabukiza" is falling.

There were quite a few people taking a commemorative photo in front of this Japanese lantern, so shooting here may become a standard in the future.


In the back, parasols are lined up on the bench, which is very convenient for meeting and resting.
The various shops are lined up on the wall, so it looks very spacious, but once the performance starts, I think it will surely be crowded with many people.

Rooftop gardens and galleries can be reached from here, but the opening has only opened, so it is still closed now.

 

By the way, what kind of shops are in the square is that first of all, it is a souvenir for lunch boxes that are indispensable for the ticket office, a local information corner, a combination cafe, a general store, a restaurant, and a play .

Above all, at the souvenir shop "Kaomise", there are many items that can only be purchased here, so you can get lost.

Starting with goods related to actors and Kabuki performances, he discovered a demonstration sale of Kintsuba, which was once in the theater, while fashionable packages of rice crackers and sweets were lined up.
Wow, I was happy to be able to eat again.

In addition, there is a corner of freshly baked bread next to it.
"Kumatori bean paste" has matcha in Ogura and seasonal cherry blossoms, so I think it is inevitable to eat it, but it is too delicious, so it seems that I will go out to the extent I intend to take it home as a souvenir .

In addition, the recommended item is "Early Roll Soft Cream" which I thought about.
A gem made by soft serve ice cream and crushing Kabuki fried rice cracker.
The sweetness of soft serve ice cream and the saltiness of Kabuki fried are matchless.

 

If you go out of this square using an escalator and elevator to the ground, it is exactly the front of Kabukiza Theater.

It's so fun that I'm going to shop and just forget the time, but I hope you don't forget the start time.
