Overview

Taiko is a traditional musical instrument that anyone can enjoy right away.

The experience of practising together, playing one song, and becoming one with others is one of the most valuable experiences in Japan.

This studio's drums are made in the traditional way, by hollowing them out of a large single tree and they are very rare.
You can enjoy real Japanese drums.

The Taiko experience is not only an enjoyable musical experience, but it is also a full-body workout that relieves stress.

The experience is suitable for all ages and levels of ability, so everyone can enjoy it.

Since ancient times, Taiko has been deeply connected to the lives of the Japanese people.

Through Taiko, you can learn about Japanese culture and history, as well as the spirituality of the Japanese people.

Next, you’ll try simple calligraphy, writing your wishes on a Hachimaki (a traditional Japanese headband). You’ll then watch a powerful Taiko demonstration by a professional instructor. After that, a friendly instructor will teach you the basic movements and techniques of Taiko drumming. The lessons are tailored to your skill and fitness level. Finally, you’ll play a simple piece of music with your fellow participants. The experience ends with a commemorative photo in traditional Japanese costume, including a happi and hachimaki.
