Plan description

Korakukan, a playhouse in the Meiji era, is still active for more than 100 years and still holds regular performances (public theater, etc.). The first half of 2023 will be held from late April to early June Boys' revue show of "Jun Kanzaki & 10carats" Mid-June to late July "Gekidan Yumeiro" Chairman Toshiki Kashu and special guest Yumiko Fujita, leading Kamen Rider Agito led by Kazuto Ando From August 30th to November 5th, in the second half of Yumeiro World, Shitamachi Kabuki-gumi's popular theater performance will take place. The performances in September will be performed by Shigeki Takahashi (Chairman Hitomi Hiroshi) →Chairman Hoshiseiryu (Kaito Niigetsu) →Kaito Niigetsu (Chairman Toru Mitsumine), and will last for about one month each. We will take turns performing. Since it is a structure that can be enjoyed regardless of age, many customers visit, including students from elementary school to high school on school excursions. After a century, please enjoy watching a play at Korakukan, a playhouse that is still active today. Kosaka Town in Akita Prefecture is a town that prospered from the Kosaka Mine. In 1910, the Meiji playhouse "Korakukan" was built as a welfare facility for Kosaka Mine employees. The exterior of the building is Western style, and the inside is a pure Japanese playhouse. The best feature is the combination of Japanese and Western styles, which is rare in theaters. A staff member dressed in Kuroko's costume will guide you through the facility tour of Korakukan. Please enjoy the behind the scenes of a real live playhouse that will be eye-opening!

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.

From play (historical drama) to contemporary drama

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.

Dance 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.
