Yachiyoza is a historical play house, designated as national important property, built in 1910. The roof truss adopted Western style in the upper part of the girder, so the playhouse is mixed of Japanese and Western style. When you visit on no performance day, it is possible to look around the inside of the building. The wooden building shows you the style of Kabuki in the Edo period such as Mawari-butai, a revolving stage and Hanamichi, runway.

I had to pay 1500¥ to get in, but that was because they had shows there that day. The good part was that between shows you could explore the whole theater, even under the stage! And the ticket was valid until you left, meaning I could watch more than just the one show. There's AC and free WiFi as well, so it was perfect to relax there for a bit.

A look into traditional japanese theater and its backstages. Unfortunately couldn't attend a play, but the theater house itself was very interesting.

A place that shows the beauty of traditional Japanese culture. I cannot speak Japanese but the staff there is still very kind and passionate. Strongly recommended!

Traditional Japanese theater. The facade and the ceiling are picture-worthy.

An amazing theatre, where you can be relatively free to wander around and take in a long lost way of entertainment. If you love any kind of theatre you should visit. If you love Japanese history and culture, you should visit. If you want to help those stricken by the earthquakes in April, 2016 then you should visit. It's a beautiful area with hot springs and traditional streets. Highly recommended.
