Where is Ohara?

Ohara is a quiet, picturesque village in the countryside upstream of the Takano River. (MAP) It takes around 15-30min from the nearest train/subway stations. The village is perfect to relax and enjoy strolls around the temples, woods and fields all day.  

What is noh?

Noh is a traditional performing art bringing together poetry, chant, dance, and music, as well as gorgeous costumes and masks. Originating in the 14th century, its repertory and stage conventions have been refined throughout history to reach today’s form.

Discover Noh in Kyoto is a nonprofit organization devoted to introducing and promoting noh from multicultural perspectives.
