Drum Workshop Tour with Sake Brewery Meal in Kanazawa

This cultural tour takes you just outside Kanazawa to discover the lesser-known foundations of the Kaga Domain, with comfortable transport and a local interpreter. Highlights include a visit to Asano Taiko, a world-renowned drum maker with 400 years of history. You’ll see master craftsmanship, enjoy a professional performance, and try taiko drumming yourself. These traditions trace back to samurai armor leatherwork and are symbolized today by Kanazawa Station’s Tsuzumi Gate. The tour ends with a meal at a renovated sake brewery, paired with local sake such as Kaga no Kikuzake, once enjoyed by feudal lords during cherry blossom gatherings. This tour is ideal for travelers seeking a deeper understanding of Kanazawa’s culture and history. On the final tour date (March 12, 2026), a traditional celebratory song that has been passed down for over 350 years will also be performed.
