Beautiful music in an intimate space. You are close enough to really appreciate the artistry of the musicians. Some time is taken in between songs to teach about the different instruments. Definitely one of our group's top experiences in Tokyo.

I was looking for a cultural experience while planning for my family trip and decided to see Zakuro show based on excellent reviews. The show won our hearts. They were able to recreate through their instruments and voice the uniqueness of traditional Japanese music. Each piece was played elaborately and beautifully. The selection of the pieces was well-thought. I believe that anyone listening who had never shown any interest in Japanese instrumental music would most likely change their minds after the show. They gave a very impressive performance. The most moving and captivation feature of the show are interactions and setting that allows to fully immerse yourself into a world of traditional music. Each piece flowed and moved every listener in the hall. The entire show was very riveting and enjoyable. I am sure that every person who attended the performance will be looking forward to an opportunity to see it again. I definitely do!An unforgettable experience, a perfect blend of tradition and popular music. Highly recommended, you shouldn't miss this opportunity if you're in Tokyo.
