Violinists available for hire in Japan cover a broad spectrum of styles for any event. Solo acoustic performers handle classical ceremony music and background sets for dinners and receptions, while electric violin players bring high-energy chart covers and dance music with backing tracks. Traditional fiddle players are a popular pick for folk-themed celebrations and cultural events.
The right performer depends on the type of event and the atmosphere you want to create. Classical violin suits formal ceremonies, drinks receptions and corporate dinners. Electric violin works well for livelier moments such as evening receptions, product launches and milestone parties. Many violin players offer both acoustic and electric options within a single booking, transitioning between styles as the event progresses. It is worth asking about repertoire, set lengths and any additional equipment they bring.
Rates for violin players in Japan begin at about ¥26,500 for a single short set, with most quotes coming in near ¥75,000 and experienced electric acts carrying their own sound equipment reaching ¥180,000+. Set length drives the figure more than anything else, followed by whether the performance is acoustic or electric and how far the player travels. Learning a specific piece for a processional or first dance usually adds a small fee, and covering a ceremony and an evening reception together costs more than a single set. Ask for a written quote that states set length, arrival time and the rate if the schedule overruns.
The average price is ¥75,000 (JPY), with most priced from ¥26,500 to ¥180,000+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Michael Shingo Crawford | Tokyo Violinist
"Michael is not only an incredible violinist, he went above and beyond by learning a song that we requested. As soon as he started playing it, both me and my dad burst into tears… My wedding was at a tricky venue and Michael went out of his way to get there and while I didn’t spend much time with him, he was the perfect addition to our special day. He is truly incredible at his craft and was highly professional. I would not hesitate to hire him in the future."
Eleni Chartof
"Eleni is an exceptionally talented violinist. She brought such elegance and magic to our wedding, perfectly complementing the fairytale atmosphere of our church venue. She even went out of her way to learn a song outside her repertoire for my entrance, and it was absolutely beautiful. It made such a meaningful moment even more special, and I will treasure that memory forever.
Having also seen her perform at the Liston, where passers-by stopped in awe to listen, I can honestly say she captivates everyone who hears her play.
My brother has since booked Eleni for his wedding next year after seeing how wonderful she was at ours, and we’re all so excited to hear her perform again! Thank you for everything, Eleni. I couldn’t recommend you highly enough! 🤍✨🥰"
Asgards Traditional Irish Music
"We couldn’t have been happier with Asgards at my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. They were absolutely fantastic and helped make a very special occasion even more memorable. The music was brilliant, the atmosphere was wonderful, and they kept everyone entertained throughout the night.
They were also incredibly accommodating and made sure everything ran smoothly. Alison was a pleasure to deal with from the very beginning: friendly, helpful and so easy to work with. We’re very grateful to the whole band for helping make the celebration such a success. I would highly recommend Asgards to anyone looking for a brilliant band for their event."
