Business Overview

Asukayama Takigi-noh, which was started in October 2003 by the late Kimura Kunya, a Noh actor who lives in Tabata, with the intention of "giving back to Kita Ward, where I grew up, through noh," will be held 14 times. The setting with bonfires and Japanese candles in the scenery that makes you feel nature and history invites you to a world of obscurity.
