Enjoy a Performance Where Nature and the Stage Become One

The "Noto Theater Hall" is located approximately 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.

Convenient Bus Access Connecting Tourist Spots and Noto Theater Hall

If you want to incorporate theater into sightseeing in Kanazawa, the connecting bus from JR Kanazawa Station is recommended. The bus travels via Nanao Station and Wakura Onsen Station, offering tranquil scenery from the window on the way to the theater. Reservations must be made at least 15 days in advance of the performance date (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays).

A Special Experience With Views From the Stage

The dressing rooms and stage, usually closed to the public, are open for tours only on days when the theater is not in use. Tours are unavailable on performance days, during preparation periods, or on regular closing days, so advance reservations by phone are required. During performance periods, the limited-time "Teatro Café" is also open, offering coffee and light meals.

01. After the performance, the soothing hot spring at Wakura Onsen Sōyu offers a perfect way to unwind.
02. Warm juwari soba served in a 130-year-old traditional house is an ideal treat during the colder season.
03. Numerous restaurants in Nanao City’s Nakajima area serve thick, succulent "Noto oysters (true oysters)" harvested locally.
