Our family of four (two older teenagers) loved this experience. We were in a class with a number of experienced drummers practicing for a performance. They were practicing particular parts and we could just join in with ... morethe basic skills we learnt in the hour and a half without disturbing their practice too much. It meant we could really get the feel of the breadth and complexity and skill involved but we didn’t feel useless. Our instructor spoke enough English to convey the things needed (we have no Japanese so we’re very grateful) and was really enthusiastic and welcoming. It’s just a small random studio in a random street but the instructions to find it worked. We finished with a “competition” between ourselves about who could drum the loudest. Really great fun!!

Everyone want to have a real Japanese experience, not something put on for tourists. This is definitely that.
Easy enough to get there if you follow the instructions, and have an app.
There was a regular class on an... mored we three beginners were in the hands of a friendly instructor. He spoke virtually no English, but it didn't matter at all. We just had to copy him. Very attentive and kept an eye on us, correcting our mistakes. At the end of an hour and a half we showed the regulars what we had learnt and they applauded politely.
An hour and a half is plenty of time. This is a very energetic activity. And enormous fun. If my local gym offered it, I'd sign up immediately

good instruction.. fun time.. easy location by the train..
will do it again

I took my 2 children (10 and 12 yr. old), my mother (74), and my husband to the class, everybody enjoyed immensely. One of the high lights on our trip! I also enjoyed getting a bit out of Tokyo center and the class is lo... morecated very conveniently close to the train station. All in all, a great experience!! Highly recommended!

Takua San was a funny, cute, nice young man who taught me taiko. I was the only beginner in an advanced class, so he gave me my own personal lesson. I spoke a little Japanese, so we did the class in Japanese. It was m... moreostly following patterns and rhythms, so the language barrier wasn't a problem. I had so much fun!

We basically dropped in on a regular class and did more basic beats with our teacher Shima (sp?) while the other students did more advanced techniques. It was like a video game with us on Beginner level and them on Advan... moreced. Shima was great at making us keep the beat but also teaching us proper form. He has an awesome sense of humour and is very encouraging! It was super fun, and everyone was really welcoming! Even the other students!
