Overview

A modern facility for a classical art, this new theater is equipped with high-tech wireless headphones with explanations (occasionally in English) for members of the audience who need help understanding this highly stylized form of drama. A controversial feature is the natural, lush young pine, rather than the more traditional ancient sculpted tree, painted on the rear panel of the stage. Performances are usually held on weekends, the days and times, as well as admission charges, vary. There is a small museum inside, open every day, with a permanent exhibition on Noh and Nagoya Noh theater.
