Hiraba, Ayumi, and Masuseki

The hiraba (lit.“level area”) is the center part of the first-floor seating. The seats are labeled from right to left in the traditional Japanese style, using the hiragana letters i, ro, ha, ni, ho, he, to, chi, ri, nu... From the stage to the back of the theater, the seats are numbered in Chinese character numbers from 1 to 11. The seats in this center part of the theater are called masuseki (“squared box seats”) where up to five people can sit. The flexible seating arrangement allows members of the audience to move and turn around freely so that they may see the main stage, the hanamichi, or the flying players. A gentle slope upwards away from the stage ensures that the spectators can see well.

There are also boxes (sajiki) on both sides of the theater on the first and second level.

In addition there are five walking planks (ayumi) 15 cm in width that stretch across the hiraba seating area. These planks facilitate access to the seating areas.

The front row seating area is called kaburitsuki, which literally means “to bite into.” Here the audience can enjoy the kabuki at its most intense. Yet another name for the front row seats is the amaochi (“rain falls”), because when a lot of water is used in the play the audience will get splashed upon.

※Note that there may be slight changes in the names and numbers of the seats in the Shikoku Konpira Kabuki Oshibai performances.

平場、步、枡席

「平場（意為平坦之地）｣為一樓的中央觀眾席。從右至左沿用日本的傳統排序法，依次為日文平假名「いろはにほへとちりぬるを｣……而從前排往後，則按照漢字由壹至拾壹依次排列。劇場的正中央席位稱為「枡席（意為正方形包廂座席）｣，一個枡席最多可坐五人。其設計機動靈活，觀眾可自由轉身或挪動位置，以便觀賞舞臺、花道或凌空的各處表演。此外，枡席由前往後，地勢以緩坡狀漸次升高，使視野更加開闊。

而劇場一樓及二樓的左右兩側亦設有席位，稱為「棧敷席｣。

平場內搭有寬長木板，稱為「步｣，橫跨左右兩端，共五根，各寬15公分，供觀眾入座離席時方便行走。

最前排坐席，名為「齧付（意為『咬住』）｣，是欣賞表演的最佳位置。此排又名「雨落（取『下雨』之意）｣，原因是若遇上需大量用水的表演，觀眾會濺上水沫，有如雨淋一般。

※「四國金比羅歌舞伎大芝居｣的席位名稱和編號可能會略有不同。
