FAQs

What should I know about the “Annotated Reserved Seats”?

Annotated Reserved Seats are typically located in areas where the view of the stage or certain productions may be partially obstructed by equipment or venue architecture.

What are the rules for Balcony BOX seats at the Osaka Festival Hall?

Balcony BOX seats are elevated and require attendees to remain seated throughout the entire performance; standing is strictly prohibited.

Is there an age limit for children attending the tour?

Children aged 3 and over require a paid ticket. For children under the age of 3, a ticket is still required if they need their own separate seat. If a child under 3 can sit on a parent’s lap, they may enter for free, but please verify the specific rules of the venue promoter beforehand.
