About this activity
We will meet up near Ryogoku Station and then transfer to the destination by train. The place you will be visiting is near the Ryogoku Station.
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the drum master and he will be your guide for the day. There will be a translator to help you communicate so that you can focus on the experience and not the language barrier. Taiko or wadaiko, a Japanese drum, is a traditional instrument that is used for festivals since a long time ago. It makes a strong sound and rhythms that excite people. For this trip, you can learn how to play wadaiko directly from a master who has been playing it for more than 40 years!
Spend some time practicing the Japanese drum while chatting and learning more about this unique Japanese instrument from the master. After the experience is over, you will be transferred back to departure location to conclude your tour.
*The departure time and place of your tour may change. Please refer to the booking confirmation and Tour Detail email that you will receive after booking.

Master Yukihito Miyauchi not only taught the class how to drum but also provided an enlightening insight into the world of Noh and Kabuki theatre, especially the instruments used during the performances. It made my trip to Tokyo for the first time truly memorable and has inspired me to want to take up more taiko drum lessons back home.
