Drumming Is Dynamic!

This was by far my favourite excursion on my three week visit to Japan. The family that runs the business were so caring, thoughtful, flexible, and professional. The instructor took her time and was patient with me. I learned how to play a three part song.The show of her drumming was mesmerizing. Her translator, was great and had us all communicating smoothly. The studio is a little bit of a drive but was worth every minute & then some. Thank you for an exciting and educational afternoon.

wonderful!!

I participated in a taiko drumming experience for the first time. Thanks to the staff's detailed guidance, I felt at ease and could fully enjoy it. Along the way, they taught me about posture, rhythm, and drumming techniques, making me feel like a true taiko master. I was also delighted to have memorable photos taken during the experience. I would love to join again next time!

Traditional drumming in Tokyo

We (a family of four) had a great time at the Taiko drumming workshop! The drums make a lovely sound & it was fun to learn the techniques and rhythms to play them. The instructor is a very talented player and clearly loves to share her passion for Taiko. Over the course of the workshop we learned to play one piece comprised of several different rhythms. We also enjoyed performances by the instructor. The workshop takes place in a spacious studio room in the Hoya Korembi Hall & it was good to check out a new area of the city. Our kids (7 and 6) loved it. Highly recommend if you are in Tokyo.

Operator response

The adorable smiles of your children brought us so much joy. Thank you for participating as a family—we are truly grateful!
