Overview

This experience can enjoy traditional music, culture and architecture at the same time.

Shamisen is a Japanese traditional instrument that resembles a guitar. The sounds play by the three strings are very beautiful and cool. It's a bit difficult, but everyone will surely feel fun.

I will teach you how to play a Syamisen.

Since I teach it from the basics, even a beginner is fine. We will practice the traditional Japanese song.

After the experience, it is tea time with green tea and traditional sweets. While enjoying drinking tea, you can enjoy traditional Japanese manners.

The venue is a very precious traditional Kyoto architectural residence. Because it is a private residence, travelers can not usually enter. Only experience guests can enter the house specially.
