Kanazawa Taiko Heritage Experience: Exclusive Workshop Visit, Live Performance & Sake Brewery Dinner

Favorite

Gain exclusive access to a 400-year-old taiko workshop, enjoy a live performance, try drumming yourself, and finish with local sake and dinner in a historic brewery.

Discover the story behind Kanazawa's iconic Tsuzumi Gate through a unique journey into Japan's taiko culture. Offered only once a month, this exclusive experience takes you to Asano Taiko, a world-renowned drum maker with more than 400 years of history.

Enjoy special access to workshop areas normally closed to visitors, learn from skilled artisans, watch a live performance by a professional taiko artist, and experience the power of taiko drumming for yourself.

The tour concludes at a beautifully restored sake brewery restaurant, where you will enjoy a 10-course French-style kaiseki dinner paired with locally brewed sake.

Transportation, English-speaking guidance, workshop access, taiko performance, drumming experience, dinner, and sake tasting are all included. Return transportation to Kanazawa Station or selected hotels is provided.
