    Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Doutombori 1-9-19
    This theater is located in 1-Chome Dotonbori. Modeled after the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the theater was opened as the first Western-style theater in the Kansai region in 1923. The theater's impressive front entrance sports a grand Neo-Renaissance-style arch. The theater's European-style entrance is on the first floor; concessions and sofas are positioned around the second floor lobby, and floors three through five are for audience seating. In 1997, facilities were upgraded and added while leaving the front entrance in its original condition. The theater hosts kabuki, shinpa, and Shochiku Shinkigeki plays as well as reviews, musicals, concerts, and more.

    Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Nambasennichimae 12-7 YES-NAMBA Building 5F
    Opened in December 2014, the theater is right in front of Namba Grand Kagetsu. If you want to see young Osaka comedians, here is the first place you have to come. A variety of comedians, from popular comedians to rising comedians, will perform. The company holds daily performances of not only neta (comedy with pre-thought-out script) such as manzai or standup comedy, but also solo, unit, or project live shows, each with elaboration. Many young comedians who are expected to make their breakthrough in the future belong to this group, so finding your favorite comedian is one of the fun parts of the show. Another feature of this theater is that the audience seats are 305 and very close to the stage.
