Dimension: Total area 160m2 (w. 9.2~11.0m x d.15.9m x h.5.3~6.6m ) A rehearsal room and studio space, dedicated to the popular Japanese folk dance “Awaodori”, a cultural attraction of growing importance in the Koenji area. The hall can also be hired for concerts, dance and drama performances, and as a rehearsal space.

The theatre archive is on Level 2. It holds published plays and scripts and other materials relating to contemporary Japanese theatre. Za-Koenji, in partnership with the Japan Playwrights Association, has made over 5,000 works available to the public. We encourage visitors to drop in and use the archive before or after performances.

Open from 11:30am to 7pm Café Henri Fabre is a comfortable space where you can enjoy coffee, tea, lunch, light bites, cakes or dinner in a relaxed setting. The emphasis is on fresh, healthy ingredients, locally sourced and simply prepared. Come and try!

ZA-KOENJI is like a large tent or circus, and the theatre like a town square or forum where people come together: some to see a play, some to study literature, others to express themselves in performance. Some might come to be surprised or to find their own purpose. It’s a meeting place for everyone in the community, irrespective of age or sex. May ZA-KOENJI become your favourite place!
