The world's largest noh theater. Enjoy a mystical world.

The building has a refined Japanese-style exterior, as is fitting for occasions such as watching a noh performance. Its defining features are the stage made entirely of Japanese cypress wood, the wooden interior fittings, and the large viewing area with 630 seats.
Besides being used for noh, kyogen, and other traditional performing arts, the space is also used for international conferences, lectures, weddings, and so on.
There is also a conference room that holds 99 people (with a lecturers' waiting room) and can be used for conferences, training programs, and more.
In the exhibition room, there are panel displays and videos that explain the history and charms of noh in a way even beginners can understand, as well as explanations about noh in Nagoya. Admission to the exhibition room is free.
Four to five days a month, the backstage is open to the public. (Please confirm the dates.)
