Takarazuka (city and theatre) - Travel questions
Hi all,
I don't remember if this question was covered in the community, but I apologise if it was and would appreciate links to the post+discussion.
Basically, I am going to Japan this spring and I am now strongly considering trying to use this opportunity to go and see a Takarazuka performance (in the town itself, going to Tokyo Theatre is, sadly, probably not an option). Because of this I was wondering if you could help me with the following questions:
1. Are there places to stay in Takarazuka overnight for a reasonable price? Would appreciate any contact details.
2. If staying overnight isn't particularly an option, am I correct in assuming that the shows start at 13:00 or 15:30 and so end early enough to leave the town by train? How long to the performances normally last?
3. It appears that Reimei no Kaze is finishing on the 17 March. I will likely to be in Takarazuka on the 16th. Is there any hope at all of getting the tickets to the performance one day before the close of the run?
4. Is it at all possible to book the tickets online?
---
5. Can anyone kindly give me names/contact details of the shops in Tokyo that sell Zuka DVDs, merchandise and so forth?
Thanks in advance!
