With the theme of "Noh and Cherry Blossom Viewing," a Noh performance entitled "Spring Mist Cherry Blossom Viewing Noh Theater" will be held at the Kanze Noh Theater in GINZA SIX, allowing visitors to enjoy the cherry blossom viewing atmosphere.
TOKYO CREATIVE SALON 2026 (TCS 2026), Japan's largest creative festival, is now in its seventh year and will be held over 10 days from Friday, March 13th to Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, mainly in nine of Tokyo's most representative areas (Akasaka, Ginza, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Nihonbashi, Haneda, Harajuku, Marunouchi, and Roppongi).
Spend a day experiencing traditional Japanese culture in spring in Ginza
GINZA SIX will be showcasing the charm of traditional culture with the theme of Noh, which could be described as the "ultimate vintage."
There will be talks and workshops on the theme of "Noh and Cherry Blossom Viewing," as well as a free performance of the half-Noh play "Arashiyama."
The play is a half-Noh play called "Arashiyama Hakuto," which is set in Arashiyama, Kyoto's famous cherry blossom spot, and shows the auspiciousness of the blooming cherry blossoms in a magnificent and splendid way.
The role of Zao Gongen in the shite role will be played by Kanze Saburota, the eldest son of the Kanze family.
The lobby of the Noh theater will be decorated with cherry blossoms, and Noh masks and costumes from the Kanze school's collection will be on display. There are also plans for visitors to take commemorative photos with Tsurenokimori Myojin and Katte Myojin, who will be performing.
Special sakura mochi are also available for sale.
At the Kanze Noh Theatre in the heart of Ginza, you can enjoy the cherry blossom viewing-themed Noh play "Arashiyama Hakuto," as well as an exhibition of Noh masks and costumes from the head family's collection, Noh mask experiences, and workshops.
We will create a gorgeous spring banquet.
