## Visit Theater X

Activities

---

---

#### Enjoy the fun vibe and intimacy of a theatre on the smaller side and study the refined and high-brow plays that grace its acclaimed stage.

Theater X is one of the main cultural hubs in the Ryogoku district, which is otherwise known for its sumo wrestling traditions. Here, you’ll find all types of performances, from artistic plays and cabaret to musical recitals. See local versions of the most famous works by playwrights including Samuel Beckett and Anton Checkov.

The pieces by local writers such as Ohashi Yasushi, Higuchi Ichiha and Taku Tsuka are also celebrated and re-created on this illustrious stage. Watch a play or recital and appreciate the excellent acoustics in this warm theater.

Preview the high-brow play in question beforehand to get a better understanding of the work. Admire the intricate lighting system and detailed costumes worn by the actors gracing the stage. The theater’s small size allows all seats a close view of the actors and creates a cozy and intimate setting. After certain performances, many local viewers stay behind to ask questions.

In the atrium outside the auditorium, study the various brochures, posters and leaflets about the theater’s other plays and their histories.

The theater is also an exhibition gallery, a conference complex and a community space and has many activities away from the stage. Take part in the Ryogoku Art Course or study acting in the Star Training workshops. Find out about traditional Japanese art forms in the kabuki workshop and practice mime in another class. Various other study groups and meetings congregate here. Check out the schedule online and purchase tickets through the official website. 

Find Theater X in the Sumida ward of the northeastern corner of Tokyo. Take the train to the Ryogoku Station and walk south for a few blocks to reach the site. Make your way around the area to see other fascinating places such as the Ekoin Temple, the Ryogoku Kokugikan sports arena and the Kyu Yasuda Garden.

Washer/Dryer inside the room was great. Separate shower and toilet was great. Hotel was very clean. Windows could use a little more sound isolation from outside noise.

Close to Haneda, plenty of convenience stores around, many local eateries nearby that are delicious, room was super clean, well stocked with amenities, LOVE LOVE THE FULL HOUSEKEEPING - they do a super clean, top up of amenities, PLUS a full change of all the bedsheets. Daily towel change - including face towels. Third stay for us. Washing machine/dryer in the room was so awesome and convenient - well thought of with many hangers and rack for drying if you prefer to hang them up - the heater in the room will dry them overnight while you sleep. Many train stations near by to get to, Bonus was 2 stops to Ginza + Tsukiji Market. Totally nice vibe, not hectic crazy like Shinjuku or Shibuya. Definitely will stay again.
