Traditional Performing Arts

Familiarize yourself with Japan's traditional performing arts

Japan has a longstanding tradition of performing arts, and Tokyo is dotted with theaters where you can enjoy them. Try some light-hearted rakugo or kyogen, or delve deep into the formal traditions of noh and kabuki. Don't worry about the language barrier—to make Japanese performing arts more accessible to foreign visitors, a number of theaters now provide multilingual assistance.
