Korakukan, a playhouse built in the Meiji era, is still in operation for more than 100 years and still holds regular performances (popular plays, etc.). In the first half of 2024, there will be a boy's review show of "Jun Kanzaki & 10carats" from late April to early June, and "Gekidan Yumeiro" from mid-June to late July, a theater troupe formed just for the Korakukan performance. It's interesting how it's different every year. The second half, from August 3rd to October 27th, is a popular theater performance by Shitamachi Kabuki-gumi. Performances will be performed in rotation for approximately one month each: Chairman Hiroshi Hitomi (Hagata Subaru Toma) → Hanagata Kaito Shingetsu → Chairman Tooru Mitsumine (Hagata Shigeki Takahashi). It is designed to be enjoyed by people of all ages, so we have many visitors, including students from elementary school to high school on school trips. Please enjoy watching a play at Korakukan, a playhouse that is still in operation after a century. Kosaka Town in Akita Prefecture is a town that prospered due to the Kosaka Mine. The Meiji era playhouse ``Korakukan'' was built in 1910 as a welfare facility for Kosaka Mine employees. The outside of the building is Western-style, but the inside is a purely Japanese-style playhouse. The most distinctive feature is the combination of Japanese and Western styles, which is rare among playhouses. A staff member wearing a Kuroko costume will guide you through the tour of Korakukan's facilities. Enjoy an eye-opening behind-the-scenes look at a living playhouse!
Kuroko staff will guide you through the revolving stage that is moved by human power and the dressing room where the graffiti of the actors is left. You can see the scales falling from your eyes (?). During the performance, there are scenes in which the revolving stage and the stage actually move, so you can truly experience a living theater.
Period dramas include human empathy plays and ghastly swordplays. There will be laughter and tears, and you will be drawn into the live performance that takes place before your very eyes. From April to June, there is a gorgeous musical show.
Impressed by the dance show using the stage equipment, such as the rotating stage and the terrapin (soft-shelled turtle) unique to Korakukan! It is composed of nostalgic songs and the latest songs.
