■ Hokkaido Wadaiko School “Wa” TAIKO WEEKEND

Traditional Japanese art and Japanese drum performance The open lounge with a ceiling height, which shakes the five senses, slowly fills the deep and powerful heavy bass of Japanese drums. The powerful performance by Hokkaido Wadaiko Juku, which is based in Sapporo, is a feeling of "bathing" rather than "listening" to sounds. The fluctuation of the air at the moment of hitting the drum surface and the breath of the batter are directly transmitted, delivering an immersive sound experience that trembles from the core of the body. The live performance of about 10 minutes x 2 times engraves the memory of extraordinary sounds as a highlight that colors the night of your trip. It is an entertainment limited to guests that can be enjoyed while relaxing in the lounge.
