Overview

This experience is a private concert held in a cosy home, unlike the traditional townhouses and temples of Kyoto. Exclusively for one group, it offers a warm and intimate atmosphere, just like being in a Japanese family's home.

The programme begins with a brief introduction to the koto and shamisen, followed by a live performance featuring a diverse repertoire. Afterwards, you’ll have time for a Q&A session and photo-taking. Additionally, only those who reserve the experience can participate in a hands-on koto session, where you’ll try playing a simple piece and experience its charm first-hand.

Perfect for adventurous travellers and families, this private experience promises a unique and unforgettable time.
