結城座

The Yuuki-za Theatre operates as a professional puppet company specializing in Edo-style string puppetry performances in a dedicated performance space.

Established in 1635 by the first Yuuki Magosaburo, the theater moved to several locations in Tokyo before settling in its current location in Koganei.

The theater maintains the art of traditional Japanese string puppetry through regular performances that combine classical techniques with contemporary storytelling methods.

Visitors can attend puppet shows throughout the year and participate in hands-on workshops to learn about traditional Japanese puppet manipulation techniques.

The theater received recognition as an Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan and remains the only surviving theater from the five original Edo period establishments.
