History
ROHM Theatre Kyoto History
ROHM has been a huge supporter of the musical arts for many years.
Kyoto Kaikan Hall, which since its foundation over 50 years has been cherished by the citizens of Kyoto, is undergoing a restoration, and ROHM, which is headquartered in Kyoto, has acquired the naming rights for the next 50 years.
We hope that ROHM Theatre Kyoto will be revered as a center for Japanese culture.
