[Let's play handmade mini shamisen! Traditional music experience workshop]
TOKYO SHAMI EXPERIENCE was newly launched last year as a spot where you can enjoy the shamisen more easily and fun!
This reservation site has just started in 2020.
A new two-hour workshop where everyone can handcraft a mini shamisen, play a few songs, and enjoy a live concert with tea! You can take the instruments you made home and play them at home.
Musical instrument workshops that have been featured on TV, magazines, and on the Web.
It is perfect for those who want to start a new instrument that people around them do not do much, or those who are interested in Japanese musical instruments but are unable to take a step because of the high threshold.
Not only will you be able to play, but also from the history and explanation of the shamisen, everyone can create a shamisen kit and learn how it sounds.
Please enjoy the special experience that can enter the world of deep Japanese!

This is truly an excellent, one of a kind, experience. It’s beginner friendly, and the teacher is kind, patient, and passionate about music. As well as helping you make a shamisen to keep, the teacher explains a lot about the history of the shamisen as well as modern-day shamisen playing. You’re in for a lovely tea ceremony and live performance as well. This experience is near the Takahatafudō station, which is very close to the beautiful Tama Hills. So you can combine this with some site seeing to make for a truly unforgettable afternoon in Japan.
