Tokyo Live Music, Film And Cultural Events. There's always plenty going on culturally in Tokyo, though language can be a problem when it comes to performance arts. Colourful extravaganzas like Takarazuka or the more traditional Kabuki are the easiest to enjoy, but even the notoriously difficult No or Buto are worth seeing just once. Tokyo may not seem the obvious place to seek out a classical concert or Shakespearean play - tickets are expensive and often hard to get hold of. However, major international orchestras and theatre groups often pass through on their tours and the city now boasts several top-class performance halls.
