The Nishinomiya Noh Theatre (西宮能楽堂) is a traditional cypress Noh stage housed in a modern concrete venue offering opportunities not only to watch performances, but also to experience elements of Noh up close. The theatre offers workshops on noh masks, costumes, singing, and walking.
Operated by the Japan Traditional Arts and Culture Foundation, the theatre opened in December 2017 (with performances beginning the following January) in Naruo, Nishinomiya City, an area connected to the Noh play Takasago. Throughout the year, it hosts Noh-centered events and traditional arts programming, and the venue is also available for rentals, lessons, recitals, and workshops.
The theatre is in Naruo, Nishinomiya. The nearest station is Naruo / Mukogawa Women’s University Station (Hanshin Main Line), about a 5-minute walk. It’s also a short taxi ride from Hanshin Koshien Station (about 5 minutes). Please note that the theatre does not have dedicated car or bicycle parking.
