As you release each beat to the rhythm of the instructor, the vibrations that resonate deep within your body will free your mind. Strength, harmony, and a sense of oneness with your fellow players. Through taiko, you will experience the spirit of harmony that the Japanese people have long cherished.

Kimono, a traditional Japanese costume, is carefully supported by a professional dresser. The moment you put on the sleeves, your mind will be at rest and the Japanese sense of beauty will reside in your body. Both men and women can try it, and photo shooting and city walking plans are also popular. By choosing the kimono that best suits the season and your purpose, you can experience the profundity and prestige of Japanese culture through all five senses.
