About this event

The "17th 24-Hour Challenge Hachijo Taiko" is an event held in Hachijo Town, Tokyo, dedicated to spreading the culture of Hachijo Taiko, an improvisational drumming style that anyone can freely play. With its power to naturally gather people and connect hearts, this improvisational taiko drumming is supported by participants from outside the island as well, continually spreading its charm to many people. The event begins at 10:00 AM and continues for 24 hours until 10:00 AM the following morning, with participants taking turns drumming continuously, echoing non-stop through a relay of over 1,000 rounds. Various programs are also held at a separate venue, evolving into an exciting gathering where the local community and visitors from outside unite. Online participation is also available via live streaming on YouTube, featuring plenty of fun content along with drum footage straight from Hachijojima.
