One of the leading performing art spaces in Greater Tokyo dedicated exclusively to traditional arts, Yokohama Noh Theatre is opening up this spring for a free tour. You’ll get to explore the backstage with this guided walkaround, and into areas not accessible to the general public.
You’ll learn about the art of Noh as well as the historical aspect of the theatre. For instance, the current stage is a restoration of the original one built in 1875 for the Kaga domain lord of the time.
This exclusive one-day-only event happens on March 26 from 10am and 2pm, with each session limited to 20 people. The tour is conducted only in Japanese; however, an English pamphlet can be provided for reference. Reservations are first-come-first-served and can only be made through the phone starting Friday February 19.
All visitors are required to wear a mask upon arrival. And please refrain from attending if you develop any symptoms of a cold or fever.
