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.

Know before you book

  • Not recommended for travellers with spinal injuries
  • Not recommended for travellers with poor cardiovascular health
  • Not recommended for pregnant travellers
  • Public transport options are available nearby
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Please be at the meeting place 10 minutes prior to the start time. Please note that due to the train time, if you are late for the start time, you will not be able to participate even if you call us.
  • Duration includes experience and transfer time
  • Children under 5 years old are not allowed to participate.
  • It takes about 12 minutes by JR train from Kyoto Station to Takatsuki Station, which is the nearest station to the studio. However, if you take a taxi directly from Kyoto, it will take more than an hour and the taxi fare will be quite expensive. With traffic jams, it could take even longer, so we do not recommend taking a taxi directly from Kyoto to the studio.
  • Important Info again!! About Meeting place and time. Due to the train’s schedule, we cannot wait for latecomers, and no refunds will be issued. So please make sure to arrive in time. Unfortunately, even if you contact us, we cannot wait for you. Kyoto Station is large. Please arrive with plenty of time to spare and check the meeting place in advance at Kyoto station. If you get lost at Kyoto Station, ask the station staff where the central exit (not the Shinkansen central exit) is. It's not Shinkansen Central Ticket Gate.
  • In accordance with EU regulations about consumer rights, activities services are not subject to the right of withdrawal. Supplier cancellation policy will apply.

Activity itinerary

From Kyoto Station for a 12-minute train ride, followed by an 10-minute cab ride to the venue. First, you’ll get a brief explanation of Taiko’s history, showing its importance in Japanese culture. 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.
