Timeline
16:17
Grab an early Italian dinner at Royal Garden Cafe. The kitchen closes at 20:30 on weekdays and 20:00 in the winter months, so arriving early ensures you get a table and a meal before the evening rush.
17:02
Walk to the Noh theatre. You have plenty of time to settle in before the performance begins. If you feel yourself drifting off, do not worry. It is considered part of the traditional Noh experience.
17:32
Step out into the Ohori Park Japanese Garden just as the sun dips below the horizon. The fading light reflects softly on the water, offering a serene conclusion to the cultural evening.
18:17
End the night with a warm drink at Park Shop. It is located just three minutes from the theatre and stays open until 19:00 in the winter, giving you a cozy spot to unwind after the show.
Local tip
The theatre is located in Ohori Koen. Check the route to Rainbow Plaza for the specific entrance to the IMS building 8th floor where you can get more information about the free performances.
