TAIKO-LAB青山

練習場としては都心で貴重な存在だろうという事は理解出来ますがとてもではありませんが高価なチケット料金を支払ってまでライブを観賞する環境ではありません。

初めて体験に行きましたが初心者の自分にも優しく教えていただき約1時間のレッスン夢中で太鼓を叩いていました。その1時間はマインドフルネスの時間で、同時に気持ちの良い汗をかくことができるすばらしい時間となりました。気持ちをすっきりしたいときに参加してもいいし、企業の研修などでチームビルディングにもとても役立つと思いました。ぜひ一度は体験してみてください。価値あります！

Very fun class, a unique experience if youre in Japan! would thoroughly recommend!!!

Brilliant lesson with Taka! A must for those needing a workout and a bit of live Japanese culture.

Its so much fun with me and my class mates!

This is so much fun, well worth trying. It's a great work out. Class is great, learn how to keep the best etc then pull it all together at the end as a group

If you are looking for something unique to do on your trip to Japan, you must experience a Japanese drumming class at Taiko-Lab -- there are several locations and I took my lesson at their Aoyama facility in Tokyo. My husband and I were there in September of this year, and of all the wonderful things to see and do in Japan, I was looking forward to taking this class the most. The staff was very accommodating, especially Hikaru, who had graciously arranged for an unexpected private lesson with one of their veteran drummers, Shin Sensei, who was very thorough in his teaching. Though he spoke mostly Japanese, they also made available a very patient interpreter named Yoku, who assisted in explaining his technique to me. If you have never drummed before, the staff at Taiko Lab will go out of their way to ensure that you will have an enjoyable experience. The facility is very clean with huge mirrors, which helps to watch the instructor and copy his/her technique. The lesson lasts just about an hour, which is about right for a beginner. They have a nice changing room if you prefer to change clothes before your lesson. Be sure to ask which is the men's and women's bathroom; I got a little confused after class and accidentally walked into the men's room (thankfully, no one was in there!) Also note that their directions for this location indicate they are near a Starbucks, however there are at least two in this area once you get off the train, so it helps if you have a good sense of direction (which I do not). Thankfully, my husband was able to guide me to the right location as I was starting to panic that I was going to be late for my lesson. Having said that, if you are anything like me, be sure to give yourself plenty of time to locate the studio so you are not late for your class. Overall, I give two thumbs up for Taiko Lab at their Aoyoma location for a unique and fun activity to do while in Tokyo!

Absolutely fantastic experience! My co-workers and I attended one of the classes as part of a team building activity. Our instructor was energetic, kind, funny, and incredibly skilled. He taught us the basics of Taiko, had us playing a full song by the end of the lesson, and finished by giving us an amazing performance. I can highly recommend this Taiko school to anyone.
