Discover the powerful world of Japanese taiko drumming in an unforgettable one-hour experience held in the underground hall of a historic temple in Shinjuku, just steps from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and directly across from Hilton Tokyo.
This session brings together two rare opportunities in one: a live performance by HIROMI, a professional instructor from the renowned taiko group AMANOJAKU, and a hands-on lesson guided by that same professional. Watching HIROMI play up close reveals the true power, rhythm, and precision of taiko drumming — something photos and videos alone can never fully convey.
Under HIROMI's careful guidance, you'll build your skills step by step. No prior experience is needed. The lesson is designed so that, by the end of the hour, you'll be able to play a complete song from start to finish — a genuine sense of accomplishment that stays with you long after you leave.
Set in the quiet, atmospheric underground hall of a historic Shinjuku temple, this experience offers something beyond an ordinary lesson: a moment of real cultural immersion in the heart of Tokyo. Whether you're a music lover, a first-time visitor to Japan, or simply searching for an authentic activity in Shinjuku, this is a rare chance to learn taiko directly from a true professional performer.
