In 2023, the number of performing arts stage performances in Japan amounted to approximately 51.37 thousand. This includes performances such as plays, musicals, and various forms of traditional Japanese theater types such as kabuki, noh, and kyogen, among others. The number of performances declined significantly due to restrictions caused by the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, and struggled to recover to pre-pandemic levels.
