Review for: DIY Experience
My fiancé and I had an amazing experience with our Shamisen teacher! Was very knowledgeable and down to earth, super fun to talk to. We built our shamisens and was shocked on how we could play it. Sounds close to the real thing! Great for practice on how to have finger placement for chords. so please don’t hesitate to do this experience!

Review for: DIY Experience
This workshop is very interesting, and the two teachers are very friendly and professional. In addition to learning the shamisen, you can also see the tea ceremony and taste wagashi. Finally, you can also take the shamisen back home! In addition, there is an unexpected fact that we are fortunate to be the teacher's first student from Hong Kong. Sincerely recommend more people to attend this workshop!
