Toyo-kan

Toyo-kan is a theatre building in Asakusa dedicated to traditional Japanese entertainment. It hosts performances throughout the year featuring a rotating lineup of artists from the local performing community.

The theatre has become a stable fixture in Tokyo's entertainment district. It remains one of the few venues that continues to focus on classical Japanese variety performances.

The venue hosts performers from different associations who take turns presenting their acts each month, offering stand-up comedy, classical storytelling, and variety shows. This rotation means visitors experience a changing lineup of entertainment styles depending on when they visit.

It is best to arrive early on performance days to secure good seating, as popular shows tend to fill up quickly. The venue is easily accessible by local transport and sits in the heart of the entertainment district.

The venue holds special programs on the 10th, 20th, and 30th of each month featuring artists from different associations. These regularly scheduled dates draw visitors looking to see a wide range of classical Japanese performances in a single evening.
