It was a fulfilling taiko experience, even though it was short. The instructor’s guidance was easy to follow; I was worried at first whether I’d be able to do it, but as I kept going, I found myself getting completely absorbed in it. It was a truly valuable experience.
My first experience with Japanese taiko drumming was amazing. I was surprised by how loud the drums could be!
The vibrations resonating through my body felt so good.
I’d love to do it again the next time I visit Japan!
I decided to try this out because I wanted to experience the traditional Japanese art of *wadaiko* (Japanese drumming). It was wonderful to be in such a quiet, peaceful setting—hard to believe it was right in the middle of a bustling metropolis. The instructor was cheerful and the rhythms were fun, so the time just flew by! Feeling the sound of the drums resonated through my body was surprisingly pleasant. It’s easily accessible, too; I’d love to do this again next time I visit Japan!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're delighted that you enjoyed experiencing traditional Japanese wadaiko drumming with us, and that our quiet temple setting in the heart of Tokyo gave you such a peaceful escape from the busy city.
It means a lot to hear that HIROMI's cheerful teaching style and the rhythms made the time fly by, and that feeling the resonance of the taiko drums moved you the way it did — that's exactly the experience we hope every guest takes away.
We're so glad you found us easy to access, and we'd be honored to welcome you back for another taiko session the next time you're in Tokyo!
HIROMI’s lessons are so authentic, and her performance was so powerful that it gave me chills. Highly recommended!
Had my mind blown experiencing wadaiko (Japanese drumming) at a temple in Shinjuku! Was a bit nervous going in, but ended up totally hooked by the end!
