Taiko Drum Lessons
A fun cultural activity for families in Japan!
We made beautiful music together with the crew at the Taiko Center in Kyoto. Don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity to experience a piece of Japanese culture together with you children. They also have locations in Osaka and Tokyo.
We were warmly greeted by our taiko drumming instructor, Nitarou-sensei, as well as the accompaniest and the helpful translator Sachi. We headed to the studio for our warm up, with stretching, toe wiggling and lots of laughs.

Next up was to learn some basic rhythms. We got lots of help from the instuctors and worked our way up to some one on one solos as well. We
added in another rhythm and then one more. By the end of it we had the drumming down pat and the bamboo
flute players and cymbols joining in to make an incredible sound! It was so much fun!
We really enjoyed this experience-the kids are still raving about it! Definitely add this to your must do list when visiting Japan!
You can join in a group lesson or arrange your own private class for your family. English(all locations) and French (Kyoto/Osaka) instruction available. Check the rates and schedule here.

Our Story
🌍✈️ Welcome to our whimsical world of family adventures! We're a dynamic duo of sisters, utterly enchanted by the allure of new horizons. Our journey into the heart of wanderlust began in the most extraordinary way – a transformative leap from the cozy corners of Canada to the vibrant landscapes of Japan. This wasn't just a move; it was the opening chapter of our life's most thrilling story.
Picture this: Two wide-eyed kids, hand-in-hand, stepping into a world so different from their own. For two magical years, Japan was more than a home; it was a gateway to countless escapades across Asia's mesmerizing tapestry of cultures, flavors, and traditions. Every alley whispered a new story, every sunrise brought a new adventure.
But here's the secret ingredient to our travel tales – our parents, the unsung heroes of our nomadic narrative. They weren't just travel enthusiasts; they were maestros of a family travel agency. Imagine growing up with the ultimate travel gurus, weaving dreams into itineraries, turning whispers of distant lands into reality. We didn't just witness the travel industry's mechanics; we lived it, breathed it, loved it.
So here we are, your guides through the enchanting maze of family travel. From unearthing hidden gems to savoring the world's wonders together, we're here to share not just destinations, but experiences; not just journeys, but transformations. Join us as we unravel the globe, one family adventure at a time – because life's too short for ordinary travels. 🌟🌏
