Japan NOGAKU (Noh Dance) Experiential Private Tour in Kanazawa

“Noh” and “Kyogen” are collectively known as Nogaku. Noh is a performing art unique to Japan, said to be the world’s oldest form of drama still performed today. It was also Japan’s first traditional performing art to receive Intangible World Cultural Heritage recognition from UNESCO. Kyogen plays are comparatively dialogue-oriented, and tend to be comedies based on the everyday lives of the common people.
The tour starts from Kanazawa Station, and you can enjoy the scenery of Kanazawa while the riding.
Ishikawa Prefectural Noh Theater opened in 1972 as Japan’s first independent public noh theater to serve as the base for preserving, handing down, and promoting noh in general.
You will watch the Noh and Kyogen at first at the theater. Next, you will be guided through the backstage and green rooms. Lastly, you can experience wearing the outfit of Noh and dancing Noh with the coaching of the real Noh performer.
There will be the English and Chinese guide through the whole tour.

Appreciate the giant glassed-in dome is also beautiful — so stunning in fact, that it was chosen as one of the World’s 14 Most Beautiful Train Stations by US travel magazine “Travel & Leisure” in a 2011 online edition.

Kazue-machi is an old geisha district located along the river between Asanogawa Ohashi Bridge and Naka-no Hashi Bridge.
Gaisha are traditional, female Japanese entertainers, whose skills include performing various Japanese arts, such as classical music and dance. It is one of the three geisha districts of Kanazawa. Chaya is a traditional place of feasts and entertainments, where geisha perform dances and play Japanese traditional musical instruments, such as the shamisen (a three-stringed musical instrument), bamboo flute, and drum. Still now, many chaya houses and restaurants are located in this neighborhood, and people may hear the sound of the shamisen from the twilight time.

The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art is a progressive museum situated in the center of Kanazawa. Entrances dotting the entire circumference of the round main building evoke its mission of being “a museum open to the world.” Inside the museum building, there are several permanent exhibits that remain popular with patrons. Quarterly temporary exhibits featuring domestic and international artists constitute the majority of the museum’s gallery space.
The outdoor exhibits and surrounding lawns make the museum grounds feel akin to a family park. Interactivity is key to the museum experience, exemplified by art installations that purposefully double as jungle gyms. The museum further accommodates parents and children with an on-site nursery and kids’ studio.
The indoor public zone, permanent installations, and outdoor exhibits are free of charge. Paid tickets are required for the temporary exhibitions.
