    Had a great time. We started playing almost right away which was perfect- plenty of time for questions etc afterwards. I would definitely recommend.

    We loved this Taiko experience! We are two parents and two teenagers (15 and 17). The class lasted an hour and a half or so. The instructor first taught us the basics of Taiko and then after a short break, we had a chance to learn and play a traditional song. We all had a lot of fun and learned quite a bit, including some choreography! Our instructor is a world class Taiko drummer, and she also had an apprentice - both were great teachers/helpers and patient too! Recommend this class especially for music lovers and for anyone looking for a unique experience in Tokyo!

    It was a great experience, lots of fun! It can get a bit loud, but that's part of the fun. Our youngest got some blisters on her hands, it might be a good idea to bring some Band-Aids just in case.
