Tokorozawa Civic Cultural Centre Muse

Back when it was conceived during the Bubble era, Tokorozawa's multi-venue arts complex probably seemed like just the cultural leg-up that this Saitama city needed. Today, its three halls – ranging from a compact chamber music hall to a 2,000-seat auditorium, complete with pipe organ – are sorely underused, giving it the lingering whiff of the white elephant.
