Noh Theater
Constructed inside the main building, this Noh theater is made in a traditional way, with a cedar-bark-thatched roof in the hip-and-gable style and cedar is used for the stage throughout.

The stage pillars are removable, allowing the space to be used for a variety of performances, recitals and art-related and other lectures. It also has facilities for simultaneous interpretation, and can be used for international conferences and symposia. The theater seats 501.
