Akanko Ainu Theater

A theater where you can experience traditional Ainu culture firsthand

Akanko Ainu Theater is an indoor theater dedicated to Ainu culture. You can enjoy various performances, including Lost Kamuy, which combines Ainu ancient ceremonial dance, a registered UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage, with digital art and contemporary dance. The ikor (treasures)—stories passed down by Ainu over the generations—are powerfully expressed through traditional songs and dances that embody the spirit of the Ainu people. You won’t want to miss these performances!
