Famous Kabuki theater to close
A famous Japanese Kabuki theater is closing its doors at the end of the month. The Kabuki-za’s foundation has withstood the bombings of World War II and serious earthquakes. But the theater’s owner now says its too outdated to remain open. For today’s Geo Quiz we want you to name the district in Tokyo where the Kabuki-za is located�and Akiko Fujita has the story of the theater.
