Fun family entertainment....

Theresa_K, Aug 2026

Fun family entertainment. Not only did they teach us, but they videotaped it and sent it to us. What was really fun was I booked the show for the exact same day, so we did the drumming adventure and then an hour later we watched the show. This tied it all together and was a fantastic experience.

So much FUN!

Ellen_H, Aug 2026

The performer/teachers were so enthusiastic that we had no choice but to be excited with them. My legs were hurting on the day of our class, but the drummers got us caught up in the moment. They were incredibly engaging. This was one of the best experiences I had in Japan!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that our performers and teachers helped you get caught up in the moment, even with sore legs. It’s an honor to be one of your best experiences in Japan. We hope to welcome you again!

Amazing Taiko Drum Experience! We had such an incredible time at the Tempo Drums Taiko experience! The energy was absolutely electric from start to finish — the drumming was powerful, fun, and completely immersive. The instructors were so engaging and made it easy for everyone to join in, no matter their age or skill level. Our kids especially loved it and haven’t stopped talking about it since! It’s the perfect mix of music, movement, and teamwork. We’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable experience!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled that your family enjoyed the powerful rhythm, fun atmosphere, and interactive experience. It’s wonderful to hear that your kids had such a memorable time! Your kind words truly motivate our team to keep sharing the joy of Taiko drumming with people of all ages.

A fun way to try Taiko

Jessica_R, Oct 2025

A fun emersive playful experiance. The hosts were excellent and we had a great time on the drums. I was sightly sceptical when I booked but enjoyed myself! This isn't a history lesson it's a fun hands on activity!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re really happy to hear you had fun and enjoyed the drumming experience — that’s exactly what we aim for! 😊 And yes, it’s definitely all about energy and participation rather than a history class! Hope to see you again for another round of rhythm and fun! 🥁✨

A fantastic experience

Best Experience in Japan

Jeffrey, Apr 2025

I’m part of a drum circle at the New Orleans Veterans Hospital. I can’t wait to share this with them. The experience was exhilarating and exhausting at the same time. I saw Tokyo Night Fusion right after this.

Highly recommend as a fun cultural activity

Young_Y, Sep 2024

This was so much fun and a great way to learn Taiko. The level of energy the drummers put into engaging and training us is so high and fun. The instructors are hilarious as well. I highly recommend this event. One of the unexpected highlights of our trip.
