Uchiko-za, Historic kabuki theater in Uchiko, Japan.
The wooden two-story structure features a traditional Dutch gable roof, revolving stage, trap doors, and pulley systems for performance enhancements.
The theater opened in February 1916 to commemorate Emperor Taisho's enthronement and underwent complete restoration in 1985 through local community efforts.
The theater maintains regular performances of kabuki and bunraku puppet shows, accommodating 650 spectators in traditional Japanese box-style seating arrangements.
Located 10 minutes from JR Uchiko Station, the theater opens daily from 9:00 to 16:30, with admission fees of 400 yen for adults and 200 yen for children.
The space under the stage, called Naraku, contains original mechanical systems operated manually during traditional performances through hidden passageways.
