As a small city with a profound focus on the arts, ranging from Kabuki performances to bag craftsmanship and from traditional straw craft to modern-art performances, it’s no wonder that Toyooka City serves as the epicenter of art in Hyogo Prefecture of the Kansai Region.

The Toyooka Theater Festival is one of the largest events of its kind in Asia. Hosting performances in Japanese, English, French, and other languages, the festival provides a sense of belonging and community among fellow art lovers who visit the area, regardless of language.

For information on tickets and performances, please check the official Toyooka Theater Festival website.
