I really enjoyed reading your site! Thank you for all the wonderful information. I will be in Kyoto from 11/12 – 11/17 and would love to see a play in Kyoto. Could you tell me how to get tickets if there are performances?

Hello, Thank you for your comment! It is good that you have enjoyed Noh, because not many people will get to see it when they visit Japan. Even if you are a native Japanese, you can not catch everything.
It is the same with me that it is better to study up the story before hand to understand more. However as you also mentioned, Noh is itself is overwheling without language.

Fascinating. Noh is something to behold as I learned a few years ago at an onsen ryokan in Nagano. The ryokan had a Noh stage and as the author correctly observed I was deeply impacted despite my tenuous grasp of the Japanese language.
