Kyoto Traditional Musical Instruments Triple Taste Line Experience - Great three-taste line experience! The teacher is a very famous player, come to Kyoto must experience!! The Mikami Line is a traditional Japanese musical instrument. Like the tea ceremony and the Kendo, to experience traditional Japanese culture, you must come and experience it.

Cool cultural experience - Very cool experience! Sensei is very kind and helpful I have some experience with the guitar and ukulele, so in the end of the lesson I played the whole song by myself! Made a great video

Amazing experience for people with an interest in music and absolute beginners! - We went there with my wife on November. We were received by the teacher, Jack, who was an absolute delight and a really charismatic fellow. I have some experience with string instruments, while my wife only dabbles a bit with ukelele and we both could follow the class no problem. The session consisted in a brief shamisen and ended with a short jam session (which was really fun!). It was the best activity we did in Kyoto and an absolute must! (now, excuse me while I figure out how to get a Shamisen in my home country)
