I learned the basic finger positions and played "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and "Tinsagu nu Hana." I also had my picture taken in a kimono, which became a wonderful memory.基本的な指の位置を教わってきらきら星とてぃんさぐぬ花を教えてもらって弾きました。
着物で写真も撮ってもらって良い記念になりました。

It was my first experience with the sanshin, and I felt like I was able to touch upon Okinawa's traditional arts thanks to the kind instruction I received. 😊 I recommend it for those considering a different kind of trip to Okinawa beyond just the beach!初めての三線体験でしたが、親切に教えていただき、沖縄の伝統芸能に触れた気がしました😊
海だけではない違った沖縄の旅をお考えの方にはオススメです！

The teacher was very kind and taught us in a way that even beginners could enjoy it with peace of mind! I was able to learn "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," and I had the valuable experience of being taught phrases from other songs as well. I was also very satisfied with the memories created from the video and photo shoots while wearing the rental costumes!優しく先生が教えてくださり、初心者でも安心して楽しめました！きらきら星を習得できたので、他の曲のフレーズを教えていただけたりと貴重な体験ができました。
貸衣装を着ての動画、写真撮影など思い出も残って大満足です！
