This plan is conducted in Japanese by a Japanese taiko instructor and includes an English translation guide. Wadaiko is a traditional Japanese culture that has been around for over 5,000 years, with close ties to samurai, kabuki, festivals, sumo, and more. It can be enjoyed by people of all ages, genders, nationalities, and even those with no prior experience playing an instrument. It combines elements of sport and brain training, and is used at shrines and temples as an instrument that is inhabited by gods, to ward off evil and pray for happiness, making it a perfect gift or celebration. (*Venue fees may be charged separately depending on the date, time, and number of people, so please check at the time of booking.)
友人と初めての和太鼓を体験しました。とても丁寧に教えていただきました。太鼓の音の意味や叩く時のリズムの取り方など初めて聞くことばかりでした。楽しくてあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。ありがとうございました。

It was fun experience trying the Koto for the first time and it was definitely the highlight of my trip to Japan! If you are looking for a new experience and love Japanese traditional music, it is definitely worth visiting Pink Asakusa and trying out their Koto short class. With the help from the friendly staff at Pink Asakusa who are fluent in both Japanese and English, they were able translate everything the teacher was saying. Miyabi Sensei was also extremely talented & knowledgeable, and will answer questions you may have along the way during your time there! :D
