Sōgetsu Hall

Sōgetsu Hall is located in the basement level of Sōgetsu Kaikan and provides flexible spaces for performances, exhibitions, and cultural events. The rooms can be arranged to suit different artistic activities and gatherings.

The hall opened in 1975 as part of celebrations marking fifty years of the Sōgetsu Ikebana School. This event established the space as a center for innovative artistic expression.

The rock garden here was designed by Isamu Noguchi and blends Japanese stone arrangements with contemporary architectural thinking. You can experience this mix of old and new while walking through the outdoor spaces.

The complex includes Restaurant Bara, which serves French-influenced western cuisine alongside Japanese dishes made with ingredients from Hokkaido. You can dine within the building before or after your visit to the hall.

This place serves as the headquarters of the Sōgetsu School of Ikebana and hosts workshops and exhibitions showcasing Japanese flower arrangement techniques. It is where the living practice of this traditional art continues to happen.
