Time Out says

The predecessor to this venue, the Nakajima Shinjuku Noh Butai, was established in 1941. In 2022, the Smappa! Group, which runs various businesses in Kabukicho, purchased the facility and renamed it the Shinjuku Kabukicho Noh Butai.

The venue is used as a place to promote Japanese culture, with performances of traditional performing arts, including recitation and dance practice by Nakajima Shizuo, a Noh performer of the Kanze school.

What’s on

Koshoku Ichidai Otoko Nihon Butai Yamamuraryu Maizarae

Experience traditional Japanese dance in the heart of Kabukicho this spring, performed by none other than hosts from major Kabukicho host club operator Smappa! Group. This unique performance, being held daily from May 16 to May 23, features Kabukicho hosts trained under the guidance of Kamigata dance master Yamamura Wakashizuki as part of their employee benefit program. 10 performers will take the stage to perform publicly for the very first time.  Expect to see the performers' gentle and elegant movements, characteristic of the Kamigata dance style, which originated in the Kansai region and incorporates elements of Noh and Kyogen dance traditions. By brushing up on the refined arts, the hosts hope to evoke the life of Yonosuke, the greatest playboy in the history of Japanese literature, depicted in the Edo-period (1603-1868) prose fiction Koshoku Ichidai Otoko (The life of an amorous man) by Ihara Saikaku. Hence the event name.Tickets can be purchased through Peatix. Closed on May 19.
