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.
