What this is
A touring theatre company is making its way through all 47 prefectures of Japan — one by one, in no hurry — and Hakodate is on the itinerary for this second edition of their slow pilgrimage tour. Shintenjichi Kaibyaku Shudan Zigzag is a Japanese theatrical group whose concept of a nationwide slow pilgrimage sets them apart from conventional touring productions.
Who should go
Theatre-goers curious about contemporary Japanese performance and locals who want to catch a touring act that rarely passes through Hokkaido. Not aimed at casual tourists unfamiliar with Japanese-language theatre.
Good to know
Tickets are likely available through eplus.jp or pia.jp — both accept foreign credit cards, with convenience store pickup at Lawson being the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese address. Hakodate Salmon Marunama Hall is a mid-sized civic venue; arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain as seating is typically assigned. The performance will be in Japanese with no English subtitles expected, so prior familiarity with Japanese is recommended. Check the venue's official site or the company's social media for exact showtime and ticket availability closer to the date.
