Highlights of the Summer Parent-Child Hall Exploration Tour

Full of exciting features, including 'The Hall's Amazing Transformation'

The hall at Yoshinocho Civic Plaza is a multipurpose space equipped with movable stage mechanisms and seating.

Witness firsthand how the flat, gymnasium-like floor transforms in minutes into a fully equipped performance hall with audience seats and a stage.

(From past 'Hall Exploration Tours') Cheers erupt as electric seat backs rise one after another.

Explore the 'behind-the-scenes' areas of the hall normally off-limits to the public

Tour restricted areas such as sound and lighting control rooms, spotlight booths, and performers' dressing rooms—places visitors rarely get to enter.

(From past 'Hall Exploration Tours') Carefully descending a steep staircase behind the stage.

Operate lighting and sound equipment to experience stage technician work

Try your hand at the jobs of stage technicians—operate spotlights to illuminate performers on stage, or adjust microphone volume and acoustics using the sound mixing console.

Stage technicians will also give a talk on lighting and sound technology.

(From past 'Hall Exploration Tours') First-time spotlight operation experience: 'It's surprisingly heavy!'

Create unforgettable family memories this summer!

This event is perfect for families looking to discover something new together during summer break.

Record your discoveries and impressions on an 'Exploration Map' to revisit later.
