Experience the delicate sounds of traditional Japanese instruments, koto and shamisen, in an intimate concert held in a cozy Kyoto home. Enjoy a mix of classical and modern music and an engaging Q and A session with the musician for a deeper understanding of Japan's rich musical heritage.
The koto and shamisen concert was a pleasure to experience. The performer and assistant were both very kind and knowledgeable. It was fascinating to learn more about the different musical notation used. Playing the Koto itself was a very memorable event in my time in Kyoto. I highly encourage anyone with an interest in Japanese culture, history, or music to book this activity.

Koto lesson and beautiful music
What a wonderful experience to have time in a house listening to wonderful music and singing. We did the extra music lesson at the end and got to ask questions on the moto.
