Intimate musical experience with explanation of history and each song. The Koto and Shamisen performance by Kyoko-san exceeded our expectations
Wonderful experience with my two kids and wife learning about the musical instruments and even taking a lesson with the hosts.
One of the best experiences we had while in Kyoto and 1 of the few that I would want to do again on a future visit. The small place provides an intimate setting allowing for a deeper connection to the music and artist. I found that after an hour I was wanting more and could easily have enjoyed a longer show.
The best experience we’ve had in Kyoto. A stunning intimate performance which offered insight into traditional Japanese music and instruments. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Kyoto to attend this experience
Una experiencia única y especial, un lugar acogedor y unas hermosas interpretaciones desde la historia de los instrumentos y comienzos y orígenes. Pero las interpretaciones van desde el pasado en la historia hasta piezas contemporáneas. En inglés y muy organizado y detallado. La pieza Chidori no Kyoku me hizo hasta llorar. Una experiencia hermosa.
