You can watch the fish being prepared in the kitchen and let you know in advance how the fish should be prepared: whether as sashimi, grilled, boiled, deep-fried (with tempura) or as sushi. If you don't manage to catch your own fish, then you can of course order a fish from the menu. However, the price is much lower if you want to have your own catch cooked .

It will host the table tennis competition during the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The site has an interesting history. It was once owned by Iemasa Tokugawa (1884 to 1963), a politician and diplomat, and the 17th hereditary head of the famous Tokugawa shogunal family. The Tokyo government purchased the land and buildings in 1943, it was then used by US military officers for some years following the Second World War. After the site passed back into the hands of the Tokyo government in 1952, all the former wooden buildings were torn down and a modern concrete gymnasium was finished in 1956. The facility underwent a complete renovation between 1986 and 1990 and the city has continued to make additions and improvements over the years. The main arena can seat up to 10,000 people. The gymnasium has hosted both national and international sporting competitions in diverse sports, such as volleyball, wrestling, and figure skating. Since 2000, the arena has also been used for concerts and Katy Perry performed there in 2015. A new kind of system for managing the gymnasium was instigated by the Tokyo government in 2006, with Tokyo Sport Benefits Corporation being the current designated manager. Some of the facilities, including the swimming pool, training room, and athletic fields are usually open for use by the public. However, please note these are currently closed due to preparations for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.

You can purchase tickets online, reserve them by phone, or buy them at the theater. Noh is a traditional form of Japanese theater that uses music, dance, gestures, masks, and elaborate costumes to tell a story that is often related to legends and history. Kyogen, on the other hand, is a comedic performance that relies on witty dialogue to make the audience laugh. The combination of the two, in which kyogen is performed during breaks in the noh performance, is called nogaku and is recognized as an UNESCO Intangible Cultural Property. Kabuki is another form of traditional theater that utilizes song and dance for storytelling, and bunraku is a type of Japanese puppet theater.
