Uchikoza is a theater of two-storied wooden construction with Japanese tradition built in 1916.
Performances are carried out regularly now and in case of no performances, it is possible to visit it.
Those who have once watched the Kabuki can understand the internal structure,
but it is remembered that the true image of the Japanese playhouse is preserved so well and impressive.
The playhouse waits for you to visit once you come to Uchiko.
The story of the demolition of the building was heard but was preserved by the campaign of inhabitants.
It is not easy to restore culture once demolished.
There is no exception in Japan, in the world. Travel tells us about it.
