Hello~!
This time, we would like to introduce you to a rather mysterious and warm space called “Hitsujino Theater” in Fujieda City.
……, you may be wondering, “Was there ever a theater in Fujieda? You may be thinking, “Was there ever a theater in Fujieda?
Yes, there is a theater in Fujieda. I am also an actor in the theater company “Unique Point,” which is based in Fujieda (it says so in my profile, yes).
Theaters” may be a rare item that does not often appear in articles introducing local regions, but this time I would like to share with you the charm of this theater!

What’s HITSUJI THEATER？
Now, “Hitsujino Theater” is a small and cozy theater that just opened in February 2025 in Fujieda City 1-chome.
It has about 40 seats. It is compact, but that is why it is a “theater where you can see the audience face to face,” which makes it much closer to the audience.
Originally, Unique Point Theater Company operated a theater called “Shirako No Gekijo” in the Shirako district along the old Tokaido Highway, but due to various “adult” circumstances (laugh), we decided to move to a new location.
The current “Hitsujino Gekijo” was created by renovating the former office building of the Fujieda Ezaki Shimbun. The interior was almost entirely DIY!
It is truly a “handmade theater.
In Tokyo, there are a number of small theaters of this size, but having a theater of this size in a regional city like Fujieda is actually quite rare. Theater fans should check it out!
Performances
So, what is the actual performance like? First of all, you will wait in the lobby until the show starts.
First of all, you will wait in the lobby until the show starts.
About 10 minutes before the show, a staff member will guide you into the theater. The seats are close to each other, so you feel a little nervous even before the show starts.
After the show, some people leave quickly, while others stay in the lobby to mingle with the performers and staff.
The atmosphere is more like a “secret base” than a theater, so it is interesting to be close to the performers.
Theater Logo
The logo of Hitsujino Gekijo, which is also cute!
It was designed by Mutsumi Shinde (emem design office). There are other types of logos other than the above.
He also designed the Unique Point logo, the previous “Shiroko No Gekijo” logo, and the visuals for the “Fujieda No Drama Festival”.
The logo is simple, but it has a “sheepish” feel to it, and there is something theatrical and mysterious about it. His sense of style shines through.
Future Activities
We plan to continue various activities, including performances by Unique Point Theatre Company, events and workshops that emphasize the importance of connecting with the community.
Theater becomes more interesting not only when you watch it, but also when you “get involved” with it.

Signs for performances being held
We hope to loosen the boundary between “audience” and “creator” a bit and make the theater a place where everyone can enjoy theater together… This theater is filled with such thoughts.
So, “Hitsujino Theatre” is a little special place in Fujieda.
