SAPPORO EDUCATION AND CULTURE HALL

About Kyobun

Sapporo Education and Culture Hall was opened in 1977 as a hub facility for artistic and cultural activities in the city. It houses a 1,100-seat main hall, a 360-seat small hall, nine seminar rooms with 24 to 156 seats, four rehearsal/practice rooms, a gallery/exhibition space and more. The venue provides a preeminent setting for various events catering to local residents - in addition to concerts, dancing, theatrical performances and artistic displays, the Hall also hosts a variety of seminars and conferences and serves as a forum for artistic and cultural productions and presentations.

Event Hosting Business

We work closely with various citizens' groups engaged in drama, dance, opera and the like to offer support with the goal of promoting the performing arts by allowing the use of the venue's main and small halls with their diverse theatrical functions as well as the facility's rehearsal/practice rooms. We also aim to expand the diversity of audiences by hosting events that feature fine classical Japanese popular performing arts such as Noh, Kyogen, Kabuki and Bunraku.
