Asakusa Kokaido Theater

The Asakusa Kokaido Theater features a main hall with 1,082 seats and an 18-meter runway designed for traditional Japanese performances.

Opening in 1937, this theater replaced multiple smaller venues in Asakusa and became the largest entertainment facility in Asia with nearly 5,000 seats.

Each January, the theater presents the New Year Asakusa Kabuki show, maintaining traditional Japanese performing arts in the heart of Tokyo.

Located near multiple subway stations, the theater schedules regular events including Nihon Buyo dance performances, jazz contests, and song festivals.

The theater houses Kamei-an, an establishment serving traditional Japanese dishes such as soba and tempura during performance intermissions.
