Plan description

2-theater common ticket [Korakukan + Kosaka Mine Office] This is a great value ticket that includes a theater performance at Korakukan, a national important cultural property, a backstage tour, and a tour of the Kosaka Mine Office, two facilities. The Meiji era playhouse Korakukan is still actively performing live performances (popular theater and other) for over 100 years. The first half of 2024 will feature a boys' review show by "Jun Kanzaki & 10carats" from late April to early June, and "Yumeiro Theater Company" from mid-June to late July. This theater company was formed just for the Korakukan performances, and it's interesting that the performers change every year. The second half, from August 3rd to October 27th, will feature popular theater by the Shitamachi Kabuki Group. The performances will be performed by Hiroshi Hitomi (Hanagata Subaru Toma) → Kaito Shingetsu → Toru Mimine (Hanagata Takahashi Shigeki) in rotation for about one month each. The play is enjoyable for all ages, so it has been visited by many customers, including elementary school to high school students on school trips. Please enjoy a performance at the 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. In 1910, the Meiji-era playhouse "Korakukan" was built as a welfare facility for the Kosaka Mine employees. The exterior of the building is Western-style, while the interior is purely Japanese-style. The most distinctive feature of this playhouse is its rare blend of Japanese and Western styles. The tour of the Korakukan facility will be guided by staff dressed in black costumes. Enjoy a revelation behind the scenes of this truly living playhouse! Kosaka Town in Akita Prefecture is a town that prospered due to the mining. In 1910, the Meiji-era playhouse "Korakukan" was built as a welfare facility for the Kosaka Mine employees. The exterior of the building is Western-style, while the interior is purely Japanese-style.

Scales from the eyes! 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.

Theater (modern drama or period drama), dance show, musical

The period drama includes a human drama set in the Edo and Meiji eras, and a ferocious sword play. There will be laughter and tears, and you will be drawn into the live performance that takes place before your very eyes. Performances from April to June are gorgeous musical shows. You will be impressed by the dance show that uses stage equipment such as the revolving stage and suppon, unique to Korakukan! It has a composition that incorporates nostalgic songs and the latest songs.

Experience the history and culture of the Kosaka Mine!

After having fun at the playhouse "Korakukan" in the Meiji era, let's go to the Kosaka Mine Office. The magnificently constructed three-story wooden structure overwhelms the viewer. The Renaissance-style exterior impresses with its elegance and dignity, and the balcony in the center of the front and the spiral staircase in the entrance hall show the delicacy and precision of the craftsmen of the time. Please enjoy the history of Kosaka Mine and the beauty of this architecture.
