Namba Grand Kagetsu (NGK)

#OsakaGuide
Namba Grand Kagetsu is a theater symbolizing Osaka's "laughter" culture, where manzai comedy, rakugo storytelling, and Shin-Kigeki performances by Yoshimoto Kogyo comedians are held daily. For Osaka locals, laughter is a part of life, and coming here lets you experience its essence firsthand. From veterans to newcomers, performers of all generations take the stage, drawing audiences of all ages into waves of laughter. There are several shows a day, and advance reservations are possible. Some days feature English subtitles for foreign visitors, making it enjoyable regardless of nationality. Outside the theater, souvenir shops and eateries offering takoyaki, udon, and more line the area, allowing you to spend fulfilling time before and after the shows. If you want to experience "comedy" during your Osaka sightseeing, this is a must-visit. It’s the ultimate cultural experience in the "#OsakaGuide."
