Enjoy a Performance Where Nature and the Stage Become One

"Noto Theater Hall" is located about a 20-minute drive from the Wakura Onsen public bath in Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Established through the long-standing collaboration between actor Tatsuya Nakadai’s troupe "Mumeijuku" and Nakajima Town in Nanao City, the theater has become a hub for community-based “theater town development,” hosting a wide range of performances and events throughout the year. One of its most distinctive features is the large stage doors that can be opened to incorporate the natural outdoor scenery into the performance, making it a truly rare venue on a global scale.

A Rare Theatrical Experience With a One-of-a-Kind Stage Mechanism

The "Noto Theater Hall", supervised by Tatsuya Nakadai, is a unique stage mechanism in the world where the stage and the outdoors become one when the large doors at the back of the stage are fully opened. Not only will you be drawn into the world of the play, but you will also be able to bask in the afterglow of an unprecedented theatrical experience, with the lush nature of Noto spreading out before your eyes in all four seasons.
