Finally I could experience Koto thanks to Akiko! I usually play bass and ukulele and such an avid fan of musical instruments especially the strings. The sound of Koto was specially lustrous and beautiful, and I wanted to be surrounded by forever. The level was perfect for me finishing up the famous Sakura song easy version in 1 hour. And Akiko's performance was .. WOW! So professional! I was so lucky to be able to see it so close. The venue is very traditional and registered tangible cultural property, so the atmosphere really fits Koto lesson. I could even put on Kimono and take photo and movie while I was playing the Koto. The Japanese local sweets were amazing, too. Thank you for everything, Akiko!
Fun experience!

It was first time for me to actually see, know and touch the Japanese instrument; Koto. For me as 8 years old, it was challenging but so much fun. Akiko sensei taught me one by one and step by step. Thank you!

Truly inspiring experience for our family girl trip (Mum, 70, me, 49 and daughter, 11). Akiko made us feel very welcome and was very patient, adapting the song to our level - I couldn't believe how beautiful it sounded even as absolute begginners. Koto is such an amazing instrument and it was fantastic to experience a different aspect of japanese culture, away from the tourist areas. We felt truly welcome and it was a delight to watch her play with such elegance. Highly recommended!
Fun lesson for beautiful music

I really enjoyed learning how to play Koto. At the beginning it looked difficult but she picked an easy piece and taught me an easy move that would make me look like a professional player. Her lesson was full of fun and also educational. I think it’s a rare opportunity and I highly recommend her lesson.
