Kanagawa Arts Theatre is a performance venue with ten floors above ground and one basement level, housing spaces dedicated to theatrical plays, musicals, and dance shows. The building contains multiple theater spaces that allow different types of performances to take place simultaneously.
Construction began in July 2010 under architect Hisao Koyama and the building officially opened on January 11, 2011. This completion marked an important moment in developing the cultural facilities of the Yokohama area.
The theatre serves as a gathering place where visitors experience a wide range of artistic performances throughout the year. The stages host both local and international artists, making it a center for live entertainment in the area.
