Traditional Concert and Koto Experiences
Hear koto and shamisen performed live by professional musicians in Kyoto - in a renovated bathhouse, a private home, or a private session where you play the koto yourself.
Gen hosts live koto and shamisen performances in intimate Kyoto settings. Professional musicians move from classical pieces through contemporary work and original compositions, with a program that changes with the season and performer. Choose from three experiences: a concert inside a renovated public bathhouse near Kyoto Station, a small-group concert in a private home, or a private concert where you also get to play the koto yourself. See the Itinerary tab for details on each.
