Experience playing the shamisen in Tokyo! Introducing our popular trial lesson plans!

2020/01/19

The shamisen is an instrument played by plucking three strings with a spatula-shaped stick, and is said to have been introduced from Ryukyu (Okinawa) during the Sengoku period. In my mind, I imagine people wearing hakama and playing lightly and at a fast tempo. When I go to Okinawa, the people on the island sing while playing the sanshin, which is very similar to the shamisen, but the sanshin often plays slower songs, so I wondered what the difference between the shamisen and the sanshin is.

3 Tokyo Schools to Get a Diving License! What are the types of licenses and how much do they cost?

2020/01/07

C-card is an abbreviation of Certification Card and means "certificate". This C-card is not a national qualification like a license, but a certificate issued by a private organization, so it does not mean that you can dive freely anywhere you want. Furthermore, some cards can only be used at that shop, in that country, or worldwide, so you should be aware of this in advance. If you are going to get a qualification anyway, it is better to get a card that allows you to dive in the oceans of the world. Even if you have this C-card, you will basically need to rent cylinders and weights at diving shops around the world (of course, this is not necessary if you have purchased the equipment) and swim in designated areas with an instructor or guide.

What is the 2019 trending interior accessory "Herbarium"? Introducing our recommended creation experience plan!

2019/12/08

I'm interested in the Tokitsukaze stable tour! How do I make a reservation to visit a sumo stable?

2019/12/04

I didn't know there was an opportunity for the general public to visit a sumo stable. There are many sumo stables near the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo where the main tournaments are held, and the Tokitsukaze stable, which is the subject of this plan, is one of them. Sumo tournaments are held outside of Tokyo, and they move to many different places due to tours, so you can't always visit them. Actually, I thought that tours were when sumo tournaments were held in places other than the Ryogoku Kokugikan, but I learned that those are "honbasho" and that tours are held in many other places. Here is a plan that allows you to visit a rare sumo stable during a honbasho or tour, and also eat chanko nabe made by young wrestlers.
