<About Korakukan>

Korakukan was built in 1910 as a welfare facility for employees of the Kosaka Mine in Akita Prefecture.

It is characterized by its fusion of Japanese and Western architectural styles, which was rare at the time.

What’s particularly noteworthy is that it remains an active theater to this day.

From late April to early November, performances such as popular theater and revue shows are staged one to three times a day.

On days when there are no performances and during the winter months, the facility is open to the public for tours.

Please enjoy the guided tour, which takes you through the open stage, the underground stage machinery, the dressing rooms, and the tatami-mat seating area.
