NEXT STAGE

Enjoyed today? Next year will be even bigger.

The Sanuki Tanuki Festival is the first step toward the full-scale Sanuki Connect launch planned for Spring 2027. The next stage: the "Theatron," a 10,000-capacity outdoor amphitheater overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. The connections born here today will lead to an even bigger story next year.

ABOUT THEATRON

Sanuki's Hidden Gem — A Breathtaking Stage Awaiting Discovery.

The "Theatron" sits at the tip of the Ogushi Peninsula — a grand outdoor amphitheater overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. We aim to host a major festival here with world-class musicians, DJs, and local cuisine, rediscovering the region through music and food.
