A café that could become a performance room
Architectural photographs show exposed concrete, visible pipes, wooden tables and a mixture of chairs and lounge furniture. A long counter and large windows gave the interior the character of a working café. The entrance carried the simple letters WGT above timber-framed glazing. Its designers describe a space intended to accommodate food, music, art and gatherings, using reused timber and vintage furniture. Architect’s project presentation
That everyday restaurant setting mattered to Gekimeshi. Guests came to eat as well as watch, and the café itself supplied the environment for the fiction. The April 2019 notice explicitly says the restaurant continued ordinary service outside performance hours. The theatre temporarily occupied a working dining room rather than turning the premises permanently into an auditorium. Original April notice
Two documented Gekimeshi periods
For Love Revolution No.1, the Tokyo programme ran from 22 October to 2 November 2017. Its advertised ticket was ¥6,500 before tax and additional fees, with a light meal and one drink. Nagoya performances on the same production page belonged to a different venue and are not part of WGT’s schedule. Original production page
The April edition of 「キツネたちが円舞る夜」 was advertised for 19–27 April 2019, with ten scheduled performances. Its ¥6,500 ticket included tax, a meal and one drink, with booking fees separate. A performer’s account published after the run confirms its completion on 27 April. The announcement count records the planned programme, not a separately verified attendance or performance total.

What remains today
The café opened in 2013. An interview recorded with its former staff after closure describes years of food and live music, followed by the disruption of 2020 and the venue’s closure that December. Those details belong to WGT’s own history; they do not establish that later businesses at the address continue Gekimeshi. Interview
Former address: grava Daikanyama B1, 1-1 Daikanyamachō, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0034. The old programmes spell the building name “GRABA.”

The cited programmes are historical records, not booking pages. No current opening hours or reservations are offered here. Performance dialogue was important to the experience; an English version or translation service for these editions has not been established.
