hat was once Japan's only gateway to the West. Begin by choosing your favorite kimono from a beautiful collection, and let our experienced staff dress you in authentic Japanese attire. Then enter a room faithfully reconstructed from that same era, where a professional instructor will welcome you with a live performance on the koto, a traditional 13-stringed Japanese harp and one of the very arts the geisha of Nagasaki's Maruyama district once mastered to entertain guests here - the only Japanese women allowed inside these walls when Japan was closed to the outside world. Now it's your turn: dressed in your own kimono, you'll learn to play the koto's beautiful, delicate melodies yourself, imagining the geisha who once did the same, centuries ago - a connection to the past found nowhere else.No musical experience is required, making this the perfect introduction to Japanese culture for first-time visitors, and a rare chance to enjoy a private koto concert and hands-on lesson in the very place where Japan once met the world.
