Overview
?Among healing nature, inside Japanese-style traditional buildings, enjoy performances with Japanese traditional drums?
Marumori-machi in Miyagi Prefecture is a "town of water and greenery" surrounded by rich forested mountains and mountain streams. The Sairi-Yashiki Warehouse is the former estate of the wealthy merchant Saito family, which continued for seven generations starting in 1780. The estate was donated along with all its collections to the town of Marumori, which opened the Sairi-Yashiki Warehouse Compound to the public as the "Sairi Historical Estate."
This activity is a special experience, unique even in Japan, where you can see a live performance by members of local professional taiko drumming group "Tabidaiko" in this valuable historical place, resonating with the Japanese style buildings and atmosphere.
In addition, you can experience "Taiko Mindfulness" using Japanese taiko drums. In this section, you can release your daily stress and stray thoughts and meditate.

What To Expect
Come enjoy a taiko drumming performance and workshop at Sairi Yashiki! Sairi Yashiki is an historical estate with 7 warehouses filled with exhibitions of clothes and works of art from the late 1800s, as well as 2 former residences. At this beautiful historical spot, you will be treated to an energetic taiko drumming performance, followed by a lesson where you can learn how to beat the traditional taiko drum. After learning a simple song, we will give you a "happi" coat to wear and you can perform the song on Sairi Yashiki's outdoor stage. We will record you on your phone/camera so that you can take this memory home with you.
If the weather is not good, the experience will take place indoors.
Depending on the availability of the taiko drummers, we may request a time adjustment when you make the reservation. We may also be able to adjust the activity time according to your schedule.
Admission to Sairi Yashiki is included in the fee.
If you select the "Drum Workshop + Kimono" option, we will dress you in a traditional Japanese kimono and hakama pants/skirt set in addition to the taiko drumming workshop.
