The highlight of the "Ryozen Taiko Festival" held in Date City, Fukushima Prefecture, is the awe-inspiring scene of numerous taiko drums and a great many drummers gathered together. Especially the 'simultaneous drumming,' where all the performers play at once, is both dynamic and gorgeous—the thunderous, earth-shaking sound captivates the audience and creates an unforgettable event. Experiencing the 'continuous big taiko drumming' and the performance techniques of thick, short paulownia big taiko drumsticks, as well as the light, rhythmic small taiko drumsticks, is something unique to this festival! Be sure not to miss it and feel it in person. Date: September 28, 2025 Venue: Hobara General Park Multipurpose Ground
