Kagawa Citizens' Hall, Music venue in Tamamochō, Japan.
Kagawa Citizens' Hall is a hall in Tamamochō, Takamatsu, managed by Kagawa Prefecture and the largest in the prefecture. Its main hall seats 2,001 people and hosts concerts, orchestra recitals, plays, musicals, opera and ballet; a small hall seats 807. The complex is built of grey-brown brick and stone, with a tall blocky section, a steep gabled roof with a glazed upper storey, and a long flat-roofed wing behind a low wall of rough-cut stone.
Kagawa Citizens' Hall opened in 1988 with a ceremonial first performance. From April 1, 2008, naming rights were sold to Anabuki Kosan, giving the hall the nickname Alpha Anabuki Hall. In 2016 the contract passed to REXAM, and the venue became REXAM Hall. Renovation closures are planned: the small hall from January to June 2027 and the large hall from October 2027 to March 2029.
The venue serves as a meeting point where local and regional musicians perform and connect with audiences throughout the year. It has become an important place for artistic exchange in the area.
The hall stands along National Route 30 on Suijō-dōri, an 8-minute walk from JR Takamatsu Station. Only the Kagawa Chūō High School and Hinase New Town buses of the Kotoden line stop at the Kenmin Hall-mae bus stop, a remnant of a route that once ran to Kokudō Ferry; the Miyamae line was later extended to it.
The small hall building carries weather cameras for NHK Takamatsu, Setouchi Broadcasting and RSK Sanyo Broadcasting. The bus stop in front is served only by the Kagawa Chuo High School and Hinase New Town line, a remnant of a route that once ran to the Kokudo Ferry terminal.
