National Noh Theatre, Traditional theater in Sendagaya, Japan.

The National Noh Theatre features a stage constructed from 400-year-old cypress wood, providing performances of both Noh drama and Kyogen comedy throughout the year.

Architect Hiroshi Ōe designed this cultural venue that opened in 1983, establishing a permanent home for performances of the centuries-old Japanese theatrical traditions.

The theater presents traditional stories through masked performers who combine poetry, music, and deliberate movements to convey deep emotional and spiritual themes.

Located five minutes from Sendagaya Station, the theater contains 591 seats and offers ticket reservations through their website or telephone booking system.

The performance space incorporates specialized architectural elements that support the acoustic requirements of traditional Japanese instruments and vocal techniques.
