Sōgakudō Concert Hall

The Sōgakudō Concert Hall (奏楽堂) is a concert hall in Taitō, Tokyo, Japan.

Established in 1890, it is the oldest western-style concert hall in Japan.

[1][2][3] The hall was rebuilt in Ueno Park, and nearby stands the statue of Rentarō Taki, one of its alumni.

The new Sōgakudō Concert Hall opened on the university campus in April 1998.

The structure, by Okada Architect & Associates with acoustical design by Nagata Acoustics, is insulated from the vibrations of the subway below by rubber springs.
