The town of Yokohama was once brilliant every day with vaudeville seats and theaters. "Yokohama Nigiwai-za" was established in Noge, Yokohama in 2002 as a museum specializing in popular performing arts, with the desire to inherit that culture and the voice of "creating a town with the power of laughter." Have you ever visited a valuable place where you can get close to popular performing arts such as rakugo, comic storytelling, and street performance?

Currently, the second director is Master Katsura Utamaru, who is from and lives in Yokohama. The commemorative photo spot with the Utamaru Director's panel on the 2nd floor is popular with men and women of all ages. They will also lend you happi coats and folding fans, so please take a commemorative one.

The main entertainment hall is on the 3rd and 4th floors. The atmosphere of popular entertainment such as red and white lanterns and pier seats that create a vaudeville atmosphereThe produced space expands.

There is also a shop outside the hall where you can buy lunch boxes and sweets.

There are also beer and sake, and it is also popular here at "Yokohama Nigiwai-za" where you can bring food and drinks to the hall and enjoy the performance while having a drink! (Depending on the performance, you may not be able to eat or drink)

I took a special look at the stage and behind the scenes, so I would like to introduce you a little!

This is the actual stage. The skill of the rakugoka is amazing, so I just get drawn in and feel a lot closer ... It's wider than I expected.

And finally infiltrate behind the scenes!

Do you know what this is doing? Actually, this is a drum installed on the stage sleeve to announce the opening. The sound of the drums, which informs customers who are taking a break in the foyer or toilet in front of the entertainment hall, "It's about to start!", Is being beaten by the undercards here.

Check the state of the customer's entrance and the actual stage on this monitor.

Similarly, on the stage sleeves, preparations for the hayashi that will be lively when the Rakugoka appears. Rakugoka appears on the stage along with the live music played in this way! It's a stylish production that makes you feel like you're at the "yose".

I also took a peek at the dressing room area. What kind of space are the performers waiting for? I'm curious!

This is the dressing room. It looks neat and comfortable!

Western-style rooms are also available.

By the way, on the table set up in the corridor lined with dressing rooms, there is something like this! Do you know what it is?

The material book is placed in the corridor of the dressing room. It is written as "Rakuro Tacho" in the handwriting. The performers have been writing the "news" of the performances since the opening of the museum. On the day of the event, the performers will see "who played what when" and so on. The performer on that day was also carefully checking his previous material.

In addition, there is something like this in the corridor.

By the way, I left the dressing room and went to the general information / information corner on the 2nd floor.
