Traditional Concert and Koto Experience in a private house
Arrival and seating in the private house, brief introductions to the koto and shamisen and their notation, a live performance (including pieces such as 'Chidori no Kyoku' and 'Kajimakura' as available), a close-up Q&A and photo opportunity with the musician(s), a short break to prepare the instrument and use facilities, then a guided hands-on koto lesson where guests try a simple piece under professional supervision. The order of these segments follows the host's agenda and may vary slightly by performer or season.
Tips from local experts:
- This is a private home venue: please remove outdoor shoes at the entrance and wear socks or bring lightweight indoor slippers.
- Arrive 5–10 minutes before the scheduled start; seating is limited and the program begins promptly to respect the performer and next bookings.
- Photography is welcome during the Q&A/photo time; please keep phones on silent and avoid flash during the performance.
