The 2024 Edition Features a Diverse Range of 70 Indoor and Outdoor Programs
The Toyooka Theater Festival 2024 takes place over three weekends, offering approximately 70 programs throughout an area that spans from the north to the south of Hyogo Prefecture.
What makes the festival unique is its diverse lineup, including popular works invited from Japan and abroad, alongside fringe programs selected through an open call.
Visitors are encouraged to utilize the timetable when they wander the extensive festival area.
This year, you can create your very own, with “My Timetable.”
After choosing the programs that you are interested in, you can add your transportation options and the sightseeing spots you wish to visit. (Scheduled to be released in early July.)
