Niigata-City Performing Arts Center

The Niigata-City Performing Arts Center features extensive glass walls, three halls for different performances, and eight rehearsal rooms within an egg-shaped structure.

Architect Itsuko Hasegawa designed this arts center, which opened in October 1998 as part of the initiative to establish 100 concert halls across Japan.

The center houses Noism, a residential dance company established in 2004, presenting theatrical works to audiences in Japan and international venues.

Visitors can reach the center through Hakusan Station on the JR Echigo Line or take a bus from Niigata Station, with multiple parking areas available.

The performance spaces include a main hall seating 1,890 people, a smaller 903-seat theater, and a dedicated venue for traditional Noh theater productions.
