Hoichi Nouson Puppet Theatre

An exceptionally rare ningyo joruri puppet theatre, held within the grounds of Funato Shrine in Higashiyama Aza Hoichi.
Beneath the removable floorboards, the earthen stage is shaped like the hull of a boat, allowing puppet handlers wearing geta to move freely below the performance space.

Each October, traditional performances such as Awa Ningyo Joruri and Sanbaso Mawashi are held here.
