Take a break from shopping and discover the reconstructed glory of Kabuki-za Theatre, a traditional-style kabuki venue with performances nearly every day. The district is also infamous for serving some of Japan’s most expensive coffees, which are available at specialty coffeehouses. A huge array of options can be found at the Yurakucho Gado-shita dining district, which stretches below the raised train tracks that extend along the Yamanote Line from Yarakucho Station.
