Geino Kadensha

An organisation involved in activities such as gathering information and conducting research and studies relating to Japan’s entertainment and performing arts industries, the Japan Council of Performers’ Organizations (abbreviated to Geidankyo in Japanese) operates Geino Kadensha, based in the former Yodobashi Daisan Elementary School in Shinjuku. The space is intended for groups involved with entertainment and the performing arts. The old school buildings are used to provide spaces for rehearsals, training and meetings, and they regularly host various entertainment- and performance arts-related events and workshops.
