First time watching the Drum Tao Kyoto Show and it was mindblowing! All around amazing talented artists, beautiful tracks, a badass good play of a shamisen and funny slapstick parts were surprisingly refreshing! So glad the team will perform next year in Europe! The show reminds one of Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance - but just the Japanese Way! Would be amazing to have a DVD/Blueray of one show or a track album 👏🏻 Thanks so much Drum Tao Kyoto! Dankeschön!
We had seen a similar show in the US (Kodo Drums). This show exceeded expectations. Enthusiastic, fun and spectacular performers. A must see and hear when in Kyoto.
Great show. High energy. Includes a complimentary drink. The venue is a bit hard to find. Give yourself time. It’s on the top floor of a large department store or mall. So to get on the correct elevator. We had seats near the front but I would almost say center section row 4 or 5 might give a better view. We were in b and were looking up the whole time. Ticket pickup was easy.
Wonderful! Very energetic, upbeat & fun! Athletic too.
Me and my aunt spontaneously booked two tickets for the show, and we're so happy to have done so. The show is just great, highly interactive and with the right mixture between old and new. Plus the artists were also funny and together with the ticket you get a free drink that one can enjoy in a wonderful terrace with view.
10/10 must watch, very good experience with taiko drums and there culture, had to go back for the second part
Great show. Been wanting to see Drum Tao perform for many years so it was great to see. The visuals and the sound design was very well done.
Beautiful show, interesting, great experience.
Amazing as always! I have seen this show with family, friends & solo. Would highly recommend!
I loved it amazing show if you are here it is a must watch
The show was exciting with an excellent change from fast paced to slower paced. The costumes were excellent and seemed authentic. Highly recommend the show as an entertainment and a glimpse into Japanese culture.
Wasn't sure what to expect but it was outstanding. Incredibly talented musicians who kept us glued to the performance. It ended way too soon.

Amazing taiko drum show. Lots of energy. A must see in kyoto
The show was amazing! A fun authentic experience, I would highly recommend it!!
excellent and joyful experience
A truly world class performance by DRUM TAO, Kyoto! Firstly, the location is the easiest spot in Kyoto. It's literally across the street from Kyoto Station, so there was no stress at all finding the place! Secondly, the chill vibes at the lobby, with people just having a chill time while waiting for the show to begin, such a genius idea! Lastly, the PERFORMANCES! They set the whole stage on fire with the captivating tricks! If you think it's JUST all about drums, you can't be more wrong! It's so much more! You gotta be there to actually believe it! No dull moment, every bit of the performance left us in awe!
Excellent from start to finish. Was hard to find the theatre from where we left the train station
This was such a unique experience! I loved every moment of it and I could feel the music in my whole body. Very impressive performance. I would recommend to anyone visiting Kyoto.
Absolutely amazing! So much worth it!

Great experience! It was wonderful and we’ll recommend to everyone to go when they visit Kyoto! The energy and performance was an amazing highlight to our trip.
Great performance. Very intense. Seems like the performers really loved what they were doing. I think it’s worth the price for 40 minutes of non-stop action
Incredible must see!!!! Highly recommended
Best cultural experience in Kyoto.
The show was fantastic for the price we paid, lively, ethereal and musically gorgeous! The performers and staff were so kind and a genuine joy to be around. I would go see the show again and again, and would definitely recommend to people who appreciate culture and music in such an alive manner!
