Reviews for the Kabukiza Gallery & Hall are mixed, largely depending on whether visitors are there for a live performance or the gallery exhibits. Guests who attend the Kabuki plays are generally impressed, frequently praising the high quality of the costumes, makeup, and acting. The availability of translation services is highlighted as a major benefit for international tourists. However, some visitors have expressed disappointment regarding the gallery portion, noting that it is smaller than expected and that information regarding its current state can be confusing. While the 5th-floor garden and shops are noted as pleasant additions, the experience is best enjoyed by those specifically interested in the theater performances rather than those expecting a large-scale museum.
