Built in 1910, Kourakukan is a theater located in Kosakamachi, Akita Prefecture. While there are several theaters that remain as Important Cultural Properties, Kourakukan is one of the few that still hosts regular performances and is actively used today.
"A building truly comes alive when it's in use."
Although I can't include photos from the performances due to copyright restrictions, it's heartwarming to know that even grandparents have their favorite performers!
This facility is a source of enjoyment for the townspeople—"that's why we can preserve it."
Overall, it was a place that left a positive impression.
