Fukuoka Prefecture has a long history of cultural exchange with Asian countries such as China and Korea and enjoys many traditional performing arts and precious cultural inheritances handed down from ancient times.
The Ohori Park Noh Theater was constructed to preserve and to enhance such cultural heritages for posterity by offering a place for public performances of Noh play and traditional Japanese music. Such facilities are small in number in Japan and the Noh theater enjoys popularity in Fukuoka Prefecture.
