Kyoto Night Taiko Drum Show near Gion by Expo Performers

Your days in Kyoto are full of temples and shrines. Make your evening something different: 45 minutes of live taiko by EN, top-level Japanese drummers with experience at the 2025 World Expo and on international tours. Rated 5.0 on Google with over 500 reviews, it is a highlight of the trip for many guests. Made for your Kyoto evening: the show is short enough to fit even after a long day of sightseeing or before an early start. Choose the 6 PM show before dinner or the 8 PM show after (a 3:30 PM show runs on selected days). The venue is in the heart of Kyoto, a 3-minute walk from Kyoto-Kawaramachi Station, between Gion and Pontocho, in a comfortable air-conditioned indoor hall, so rain or shine your plan stays the same. The show is non-verbal and fun for all ages, and children 6 and under watch for free. One guest is invited on stage to drum with the performers, and you can take photos with the performers after the show.
