Yamato Kōriyamajō Hall

Yamato Kōriyamajō Hall is a modern concert venue in Yamatokoriyama designed by MHS Planners, Architects and Engineers. The building features carefully engineered acoustics and flexible stage configurations that accommodate various types of performances and musical genres.

The hall opened in May 2001 on land situated near the former Koriyama Castle grounds. This location connects the city's past as a samurai stronghold with its modern cultural development.

The hall's name references the historic Koriyama Castle and its significance to the region. The venue reflects the city's commitment to supporting musical performance and community engagement through regular programming.

The venue sits just minutes from Nara Park and benefits from good local transportation connections. Performances are scheduled regularly throughout the year, making it easy to plan a visit around different musical events.

The city around this venue has been raising goldfish for centuries, creating an unexpected contrast with the modern concert hall. Visitors can enjoy a performance and then explore the traditional goldfish breeding farms that define the town's heritage.
