Theater Blending Nature and Stage into One Performance

Approximately 20 minutes by car from Wakura Onsen Soyu in Nanao, Ishikawa, "Noto Engekido" is a theater created through many years of exchange between "Mumeijuku," led by Tatsuya Nakadai, and Nakajima Town in Nanao City. As a base for "theater-centered community development," the venue hosts a variety of performances and events throughout the year. Its large doors at the rear of the stage can be opened and closed, making the hall a rare venue, even worldwide, for productions that incorporate the outdoor space.

Rare Stage Mechanism Offering a Unique Theater Experience

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 Linking Tourist Spots and "Noto Engekido"

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).

Stage-Side Perspective as a Distinctive Experience

Normally off-limits dressing rooms and stage areas are available for tours only on select open dates at the theater. Tours are not offered on performance days, during preparation periods, or on closing days, so reservations are required after confirming availability by phone. "Cafe Teatro," open only during performance periods, serves coffee and light meals.

01. For lingering after a theater performance, a soak at Wakura Onsen Soyu is also a great option
02. Warm 100% buckwheat soba served in a traditional house more than 130 years old is suited to the colder months
03. A row of shops serves plump "Noto Kaki" oysters from Nakajima-machi, Nanao City
