Marumori Trip Overview
【Among healing nature, inside Japanese-style traditional buildings, enjoy performances with Japanese traditional drums】
Marumori-machi in Miyagi Prefecture is a “town of water and greenery” surrounded by rich forested mountains and mountain streams. The Sairi-Yashiki Warehouse is the former estate of the wealthy merchant Saitou family, which continued for seven generations starting in 1780. The estate was donated along with all its collections to the town of Marumori, which opened the Sairi-Yashiki Warehouse Compound to the public as the “Sairi Historical Estate.”
This activity is a special experience, unique even in Japan, where you can see a live performance by local professional taiko drumming group “Marumori Date Taiko” in this valuable historical place, resonating with the Japanese style buildings and atmosphere.
In addition, you can experience “Taiko Mindfulness” using Japanese taiko drums. In this section, you can release your daily stress and stray thoughts and meditate.

Itinerary
Come enjoy a taiko drumming performance and workshop at Sairi Yashiki! Sairi Yashiki is an historical estate with 7 warehouses filled with exhibitions of clothes and works of art from the late 1800s, as well as 2 former residences. At this beautiful historical spot, you will be treated to an energetic taiko drumming performance, followed by a lesson where you can learn how to beat the traditional taiko drum. After learning a simple song, we will give you a “happi” coat to wear and you can perform the song on Sairi Yashiki’s outdoor stage. We will record you on your phone/camera so that you can take this memory home with you.
