    Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Osakajou 3-1
    Situated inside Osaka Castle Park in Chuo Ward, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, this is the largest event hall in western Japan with a capacity of 16,000 people. It was built in 1983 as the site of the “Osaka Chikujo 400-year Festival,” and the main part of the building was built underground out of consideration for the surrounding scenery.

Popular domestic and overseas artists’ concerts and various ceremonies are held here, as well as a number of events attended by a large number of people throughout the year.

    "The Shinkabukiza Theater has convenient, direct access to and from Kintetsu Railway's Osaka Uehommachi Station.

The Shinkabukiza Theater hosts a wide range of difference types of performance, from Manzai (stand-up comedy performed by a pair of comedians) to performances by popular singers. The original Shinkabukiza Theater, which had become rather dilapidated, was closed in 2009, and the Theater moved into its current premises, which opened for the first performance in 2010. For the Kokeraotoshi (inaugural performances in a new theater), the ""21st Century Kabuki Gumi"" troupe performed ""Taiko Sanbaso"" and ""Yoshitsune Senbonzakura Yoshino Yama."""
