This is a fantastic introduction into the world of taiko including history and a demonstration by a professional - amazing!
Michie, our guide, was a wealth of information and made our family feel comfortable and welcome.
The instructor, who was also the professional demonstrator, was brilliant. He was positive, patient and very encouraging when teaching us the drumming piece.
This is a must do when in Kyoto.
