Japanese Traditional Taiko Drum Experience in Kyoto

This tour has a minimum participation amount of 2 people. Please note that all other bookings will be cancelled and fully refunded due to system restrictions. Thank you for your understanding.

For those observing without participating in the drumming, an observation fee applies and must be paid in cash at the drum studio on the day of the tour. Please notify us in advance if there will be any observers, as transportation may not be arranged without prior notice.

Public transportation is convenient, with JR trains running frequently.

Arrive at the meeting point at least 10 minutes early to avoid missing the session. Late arrivals cannot be accommodated, and refunds will not be issued.

Travel time from Kyoto Station to Takatsuki Station is about 12 minutes by JR train. Taking a taxi from Kyoto is not recommended, as it can take over an hour and be very expensive.

Children under 5 years old cannot participate in this workshop.

Not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs, as the venue is not accessible for them.

This experience is not recommended for those with back problems, heart conditions, or pregnant travelers due to the nature of the activity.

The workshop starts at JR Kyoto Station and ends at JR Takatsuki Station. Your guide will ensure you board the train back to Kyoto.

The total duration includes both the experience and travel time between locations.

Kyoto Station is large, so allow extra time to find the meeting point. If unsure, ask station staff for directions to the central exit (not the Shinkansen central exit).

Trains run on a strict schedule, and we cannot wait for latecomers. Please plan ahead, as no refunds will be given for missed sessions.
