Last update :

Also called an entertainment hall, Suehiro-tei is an auditorium for traditional Japanese performances such as Rakugo and Manzai, as well as lectures. Sense the history in this wooden structure, where many paper lanterns highlight the names of performers.
Although Rakugo storytelling and Manzai comedies are verbal arts performed in Japanese, you can enjoy other performance arts here, like magic shows, acrobatics and folk songs. It’s fun just to come and see what they will do next!
All seats are unreserved, and there is both tatami mat and chair seating. You can also look down upon the performances from seats on the second floor.
There are also shops inside the hall selling paper fans, hand towels and souvenirs.

Highlights

  • Enjoy the ambience of traditional Japanese performance arts.
  • Souvenirs are also sold inside the hall.
  • You can buy same-day tickets without a reservation.

    I want to try it, but I don't have the courage to go alone~

    Come and experience traditional Japanese culture!

    You can really feel the Japanese vibe just from the wooden exterior. You get to sit on tatami mats and watch traditional performances up close, like Rakugo, Manzai, and storytelling. I heard they also have modern shows and comedy acts that younger people enjoy.
    Even though I didn't understand everything, the performers' funny expressions and gestures had me laughing the whole time.
    After the show, you can buy some cute, traditional Japanese souvenirs. Highly recommend experiencing this bit of Japanese culture!

    When I walked by, I had no idea what was going on inside. I just thought the building looked super traditional, and all the Japanese names written outside seemed really interesting, so I snapped a photo. Turns out, it's actually a place for traditional Japanese performances! Haha 😄
