Kaho Gekijō, Historical Kabuki theater in Iizuka, Japan

The two-story wooden theater features traditional Hanamichi walkways extending from both sides of the stage into the audience seating area.

Constructed in 1922 for coal mine workers in the Chikuho region, the theater underwent substantial renovations in 1931 to enhance its architectural elements.

The theater hosts the Zenkoku Zacho Taikai, an annual performance gathering where leading Kabuki troupes present their productions to national audiences.

Located 15 minutes from JR Iizuka Station, the theater operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with entrance fees of 300 yen for adults and 100 yen for children.

The theater maintains a 16-meter diameter manually operated revolving stage that requires 12 people to turn during performances.
