Kōrakukan

The Korakukan combines a western-style exterior facade with traditional Japanese interior design elements, featuring multiple performance spaces and exhibition areas throughout the building.

The Korakukan opened its doors on August 13, 1910, during the industrial growth of Kosaka, when the town prospered from silver and copper mining operations.

The theater hosts regular performances of Kabuki plays, traditional dance shows, and contemporary entertainment three times daily from April through November each year.

Visitors can access guided tours of the theater from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with audio guides available in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.

This wooden structure stands as the largest existing Kabuki theater from the Meiji period and received designation as an Important Cultural Property of Japan in 2002.
