[For MICE and Groups]Wadaiko Experience [Grand Hall Tsubaki]　

Experience Japan’s percussion instrument wadaiko, which is said to have the spirits reside in its tones.

Japan’s oldest taiko can be dated back to the 6th century. Used as a means of information transmission, a sacred tool, and for curses, it has been deeply rooted in Japanese cultures such as gagaku, Noh, and Kyogen over the years.

Wadaiko has no scale and you can feel free to challenge yourself just by learning the rhythm, so you can enjoy playing regardless of age and nationality, and communicate through the rhythm.

In this experience, you’ll watch a taiko performance by a renowned instructor, and actually play wadaiko afterwards.

Experience the booming sounds of wadaiko in Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo’s largest banquet hall.

Activity Content

The body of a wadaiko is made from wood, with a piece of leather stretched on top. The leather is vibrated to produce sound.

The type of drum played using a stick called a bachi is called a taiko, while the type of drum played by hand is called a tsuzumi.

Wadaiko are also extremely durable in comparison to Western percussion instruments like drums.

In the taiko experience, in addition to getting hands-on experience with Japanese musical instruments, you’ll experience the sounds of each beat of the drum, which are said to evoke the spiritual power of Yamatodamashii.

Each participant will be provided with their own wadaiko during the experience.
