ROHM Theatre Kyoto is the old Kyoto Kaikan, a modernist hall by Kunio Maekawa that opened in 1960, rebuilt and reopened under its new name in 2016. It holds a 2,000-seat main hall, a 700-seat South Hall and a black-box North Hall, round a courtyard called ROHM Square.
Insider tip
You don't need a ticket to look round the courtyard or the Kyoto Okazaki Tsutaya bookshop, which opens 10:00 to 20:00 with a Starbucks running 8:00 to 22:00. Kyoto Modern Terrace, the cafe and restaurant upstairs, serves until 22:00.
