Why You Should Visit
For three nights only, Kodaiji in Higashiyama pairs Noh theatre with digital staging. The Noh play Hagoromo is performed in the Hojo hall and at the Chokushimon gate, while mist effects over the Hojo garden, a lit bamboo grove and 3D hologram displays fill the grounds. A restored Golden Tea Room, normally kept out of public view at Fushimi Momoyama Castle, is on special display for this edition only. A good fit for anyone who wants to take in Noh by night at the temple tied to Hideyoshi and his wife Nene.
