See the 400-year-old stone stage in front of the hall, one of the three great stone stages in Japan. On April 22, witness a performance of Bugaku or traditional Japanese court music and dancing.
Visit an urban oasis located right beside Tennouji Station. The park consists of a zoo, the Museum of Fine Arts and a Japanese garden called Keitakuen.
