What's Included
Meeting and pickup
It is a 2-minute walk from Exit 11 of Sanjo Keihan Station. Please wait on the sidewalk in front of Fresco Kawabata (supermarket). I will be waiting for you there, wearing a traditional Kimono.
What to expect
No musical background required—beginners very welcome. Produce sounds within minutes and, together with your instructor, perform two songs: a "Classical song" and a "World-famous song" with unique Japanese arrangements. Through these sounds, experience "Wabi-sabi"—the Japanese aesthetic of finding beauty in the scenery and the passage of time.
A musician with 25 years of experience guides this journey. Strings are tuned to 528Hz for relaxation, providing a resonance that blends with the temple's tranquility. All instruments provided. Chairs also available. Rainy-day friendly. Solo travelers welcome.
