Sogakudo Concert Hall

The Sōgakudō Concert Hall (奏楽堂?) is a concert hall in Tokyo, Japan. Established in 1890, it is the oldest concert hall in Japan. Formerly the Hall belonged to the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music.

By 1972, it had become too old for school use, so Taito City obtained the property and designated it as an Important Cultural Properties.

The hall was rebuilt in Ueno park, and nearby stands the statue of Rentaro Taki, one of its alumni.
