Reviews
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
Thoroughly enjoyed this dynamic show. The energy was electric. Highly recommended!
An immersive show with professional musicians, highly recommended. You can tell they genuinely want to share their expertise and culture. We recommend it. Please note: the venue is located in a building in the large courtyard, opposite the arrival area.
