Book now for tomorrow
No cancellation
- Overview
-
- “Noh” and “Kyogen” are collectively known as Nogaku. Noh is a performing art unique to Japan, said to be the world’s oldest form of drama still performed today. It was also Japan’s first traditional performing art to receive Intangible World Cultural Heritage recognition from UNESCO. Kyogen plays are comparatively dialogue-oriented, and tend to be comedies based on the everyday lives of the common people.
- The tour starts from Kanazawa Station, and you can enjoy the scenery of Kanazawa while the riding.
- Ishikawa Prefectural Noh Theater opened in 1972 as Japan’s first independent public noh theater to serve as the base for preserving, handing down, and promoting noh in general.
- You will watch the Noh and Kyogen at first at the theater. Next, you will be guided through the backstage and green rooms. Lastly, you can experience wearing the outfit of Noh and dancing Noh with the coaching of the real Noh performer.
- There will be the English and Chinese guide through the whole tour.
