Reviews
We were a group of 5 people between 28 years old and 75 years old from 3 different countries and we all loved it and enjoyed the show. The venue is small and simple but the drums fill the room and it's actually better than in a big theater where you sit far away. Do yourself a favour, Go!
The performance was deeply moving—you could genuinely sense the performers’ passion and commitment to their art. If you’re navigating with Google Maps, walk along Kiyamachi-dori. You’ll come across a bridge (not shown on the map) that crosses the Takase River and leads directly to the venue.
This concert blew my mind. The music was incredible, the performers skilled and full of enthusiasm, and the comedic elements were funny and felt like they were things that people have enjoyed for centuries in Japan. I give this my highest recommendation.
It was a very exciting show for 45 minutes. It kept us captivated and engrossed in the performance. There was never a dull moment in this show. If you have the chance to visit Kyoto, you shouldn't miss it. It's well worth the money.
I love this show. The show is interactive i.e. the crowd would clap along to the drums, or one of the cast would as the crowd to hit the drum during the show. Totally recommend going to this show.
This is a must see performance if you’re in Kyoto! The performers are so well rehearsed and the energy they bring to the stage is infectious. We brought our 5 year old with us, and they got just as much out of it as we did. Perfect cultural experience. Huge value for money. Arigatō gozaimasu EN!
Excellent immersive drumming show. The drummers interacted with our intimate crowd and we felt a part of the show. Their skill was amazing and we were in awe of the sound quality and vibrations through our body. Worth every Yenny.
A short but fun experience in an intimate venue. You can easily see the performers from any seat in the theater, and feel the powerful drumbeat with your body. It was surprisingly interactive and very enjoyable.
What a fantastic show this was! The drums were really shaking the room and the team was really awesome. we came with our girls 5 and 7 and we all really enjoyed the show. Thank you for the great experience!
amazing show and entire family of all ages loved it. well done - super close to Nishiki market so we walked from market to drum show in 8 minutes. well done and highly recommend
