Step into a 700-year-old temple in Tokyo and experience a dynamic journey from quiet sutra chanting to powerful taiko drumming.
Start with sutra chanting at Daibo Hongyoji Temple, founded over 700 years ago. A monk will guide you step by step, making it easy to follow even for beginners. In the serene hall, as your voice joins the rhythm, you settle into stillness.
With a focused mind, move on to taiko drumming. A professional drummer with 23 years of experience, who has performed at national ceremonies and overseas concerts, will guide you from stance and grip to your first strike. As the group rhythm builds, you will feel a strong sense of achievement and pure joy, connecting with the powerful sounds, history, and spirit of Japanese culture. Tailored sessions, max 8 guests.

It was a great opportunity to learn more about Buddhist practices in Japan!

5.00I knew about how important chanting and drumming was for Buddhist practices in Japan, but experiencing them first hand was an experience I really enjoyed. The staff and teacher were very kind and energetic and we're willing to go the extra mile to make sure I felt comfortable. It was truly an unforgettable experience.
I went because of the taiko but it's more than just the taiko workshop

5.00I had a great experience. At 20k yen you get more than just a Taiko workshop, but also a very private (small group) praying workshop with the monk at the temple, and a nice opportunity to have tea and snacks with the staff while talking about their experience at the temple. It feels very private and very well thought out. The entire experience is around 2.5 hours so it doesn't take up too much of your time, but it does justify the price and time spent. If you're interested in a more hands-on experience with Japanese instruments, I think this is a great option. The taiko playing wasn't too difficult but it was really really fun.
Wonderful family time and unforgettable encounters

5.00It was so amazing! I didn't expect to get so much energy from Taiko. The instructor and everyone were wonderful, and I was impressed by their professional playing. Chanting in the beautiful temple was also a memorable activity that felt like meditation. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience unique Japanese culture.

5.00Highly recommended as I loved every minute of it! A great way to immerse yourself in the culture … away from the Tokyo crowds. The teacher is extremely talented and very patient with beginners. There’s also a lot to do and visit in the area… I went during Sakura bloom as it was magical.
Guaranteed cultural immersion!

5.00This half-day experience was a real immersion in traditional Japanese culture, all in a very nice temple in a Tokyo neighborhood away from traditional tourist circuits. Ideal for those who like to think outside the box when travelling. I highly recommend!
