Home of the Takarazuka Revue, the world’s only all-female musical theatre troupe. The Takarazuka Grand Theatre, Tezuka Osamu Manga Museum and the Hana-no-michi promenade make this a town where culture meets entertainment.

Smoking rules and things to watch around Takarazuka
Tourist areas across Hyogo have widely adopted street-smoking bans, with fines for violations. Indoors, the revised Health Promotion Act mandates smoke-free environments by default; smokers must use a designated smoking room, a heated-tobacco-only room, or an outdoor designated smoking spot.
The Grand Theatre, the Memorial and Hana-no-michi are all non-smoking. Use designated smoking spots at Takarazuka Station rotary or just outside the theatre grounds.
How to find smoking areas near Takarazuka
- Check designated smoking areas inside or in front of major stations first
- Use indoor smoking rooms in large shopping complexes, department stores, and airports — weather-proof and reliable
- Heated-tobacco-only rooms sometimes allow eating and drinking; filter by your device type
- Carry a portable ashtray and never smoke on the street if no designated area is available
