🗺️ Tachikawa KEYAKI Theater大衆演劇 立川・けやき座

A dedicated theater that conveys the charm of popular drama inherited from the Edo period to the present day. With performances featuring enka or folk songs accompanied by dance, this form of popular drama is a leisurely entertainment that can be easily enjoyed in daily life and has many devoted fans. The allure of popular drama lies in the fact that one can enjoy the performances without any professional knowledge. The three-hour show is divided into two parts: the "Drama," filled with human warmth, and the "Dance Show," showcasing splendid choreography. The audience claps and laughs along with the music; the seamless integration of performers and spectators is a captivating aspect of popular theater. There are three types of seating: the special "Zashiki" seats next to the hanamichi (reserved for 400 yen), the "Tamari" seats in the first two rows to experience the tension of the performances (reserved for 300 yen), and the chair seats, which make up 70% of the venue (reserved for 300 yen). If there are still available seats in the "Zashiki" and "Tamari" sections on the day of the performance, you can sit without a reservation. During the performance, you can freely enjoy meals and drinks, fully immersing yourself in the popular entertainment that has been passed down since the Edo period.
