金沢おぐら座

Kanazawa Ogura Theatre is a theatre building in Kanazawa, Japan, featuring a classical stage design with dedicated performance areas and supporting conference spaces. The layout prioritizes the relationship between stage and audience seating arrangements.

The building opened in 1989 and quickly became an important venue for classical Japanese performance traditions in Ishikawa Prefecture. Since its founding, it has served as a dedicated space for preserving and presenting these art forms.

Regular performances of Noh and Kyogen take place here, showcasing classical Japanese theatrical art forms to audiences from across the region. The space is designed to honor these traditions while welcoming both experienced and first-time viewers of these performance styles.

The venue is about 20 minutes by bus from Kanazawa Station, and online ticket booking is available for scheduled performances. Checking the program in advance helps you plan your visit and find performances that match your interests.

Spectator seating is positioned very close to the stage, allowing clear views of performers' facial expressions and subtle movements. This proximity creates a more direct connection between the actors and the audience watching them.
