A Japanese colonial era theater in Dongshi, Yunlin, likely romanized as Kyōraku-za (共樂座). Presumably it was a mostly wooden venue for traditional opera and other performances. Not much is known about this place but it is safe to assume it was demolished long ago. Based on a tip from The Thief of Places the location behind the traditional market (東勢市場) was substantiated through conversation with a local resident.
