Discover NOH — A Performance and Workshop on a Long-Dormant Stage
- 2025.08.20

Since the Taisho era, Noh performances had ceased, and the Noh stage at Nagae Atsukushihiko Shrine remained dormant for many years.
This is a truly unique event on Sado Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you can witness a live Noh performance and participate in an unparalleled workshop taught by local masters.
Sado Island is home to an incredible one-third of Japan's remaining Noh stages. We invite you to the Nagae Atsukusihiko Shrine Noh Stage, which has been dormant for about 100 years, with performances ceasing since the Taisho era (1912-1926). Now, a new era begins as we revive this historic stage with a stunning performance by local Noh masters.
This is more than just a show-—it's an exclusive opportunity to connect with this ancient art form. You'll not only watch the performance but also get a special hands-on experience through our workshop.
Before or after the event, be sure to visit the main hall, where you can see beautiful Noh masks and costumes on display.
Participation fee
Admission is ¥3,000 for either the performance or the workshop.
