Tokyo Bunka Kaikan Backstage Tour—The Architecture

This tour shows you the architectural flavor of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, which has presented numerous performances of globally celebrated opera and ballet companies since its inauguration in 1961. You will find our venue has a lot to see as an architectural work as well.
Featuring the architecture on our popular “Tokyo Bunka Kaikan Backstage Tours,” we will guide you to the characteristic corners of the building, together with a special lecturer.
An extra weekend tour is added at the last minute as well!
We look forward to your participation!
