Akeno Strip Club

Akeno Strip Club is one of the famous abandoned site in Japan, and is known by the name Akeno Gekijo amongst urbexers. If Everyone should look at this location, ‘Why would there was a strip club in a place like this?’ because It is located in a remote countryside, Ibaraki Pref. In the area around this club are love hotel, farm and rice paddy. I think, Every night, A striptease had been carried out in this club and the farmer had dispel daily stress here!

明野劇場は、かなり昔から廃墟では有名なストリップ劇場の廃墟です。周囲には、ラブホテルに農協に田んぼ! かなり辺ぴな場所に忽然とあるので、’なぜ、こんな場所にストリップ劇場があったのだろう？’と誰もが疑問に思うはずです。きっとここで、夜な夜な舞姫たちと農夫たちの熱い夜が開かれていたんでしょうね。

The building is overgrown with weeds and bushes despite, and there is some missing character on the Sign board at the entrance, It was possible to read Akeno Geijou. This building went out of business in 1990s due a fire. I look at the appearance, it is not known whether there was a fire.

火災によって閉鎖し、長年廃墟として放置されたままです。建物の正面看板は文字がいくつかかけてしまっていますが、明野劇場と書いてあることが今現在でも確認することができます。

As you will see, The first floor and Second floor are deeply scorched, It was hardly ruined and a lot of objects were burned, and iron Structure was melted! It was a terrible fire maybe so… This bad state has been abandoned for years… But such a state, burnt audience seats and the stage were almost preserved, When I see those, can understand as a strip club that again. Club is leaving the atmosphere of Showa era still now.

御覧の通り、内部は火災によって真っ黒焦げ。ずいぶんとひどい火事だったんでしょうね….ギリギリな状態が何年も放棄されているけれど、焼け焦げた客席、ステージを見れば、ストリップ劇場だと再認識できます。今でも昭和を彷彿させる空気がプンプンでした

There is a room of the lighting technician on the second floor, burnt as well. I am overlooking the burnt stage from here! When was in activity, you could enter the show from make, but I think was not the best place to look the show…

二階には、照明技師の部屋がありました。こちらも同じく真っ黒焦げ。ここからはステージを見下ろせます!・・・んでも、ここからじゃ肝心のモノが見えないか…
