Minami-za, Traditional theater in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, Japan.
The Minami-za theater features a four-story structure with underground level, combining modern architecture with Momoyama period design elements.
Established in the early Edo period between 1596 and 1615, Minami-za received official recognition as a theater and maintains operations at its original location.
The theater presents seasonal kabuki performances from November to December, maintaining a tradition of displaying white wooden signboards with actors' names in special calligraphy.
Minami-za contains 1086 seats and stands near Gion-Shijo Station on the Keihan Railway and Kawaramachi Station on the Hankyu Railway.
The theater underwent major renovations in 2018, incorporating seismic reinforcement while preserving its status as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan.
