What to expect
Kyudo is a Japanese martial art based on shooting an arrow from a Japanese bow to a target to reach a complete focus of mind and body. The main difference of kyudo and western archery is that, in kyudo, every movement follows a traditional routine that pays respect to the equipment and to the opponent. You will come to the archery range and dress in an authentic kyudo uniform, which will include dogi—the upper wear—and hakama—the lower wear. I'll give a brief explanation about the art of kyudo as well as instructions and demonstrations. With the knowledge you'll gain, you will learn to shoot arrows at the target. You'll also understand the fun and challenging aspect of the sport, particularly while wearing the traditional hakama and armor. Usually in kyudo, you are not allowed to pull the arrow unless you master the basics. But during our lesson, you will be able to enjoy the real kyudo experience even as a complete beginner. It will be a great time if you are looking for a nice photo or movie to show to your friends.

We happened to walk past here and decided to pop in. Definitely worth it. The guy working was super friendly and although he didn’t speak great English he used google translate and gave really great customer service. We just did 10 arrows but you can rent the traditional costume etc for a bit extra. I would recommend giving it a go if your in the area.丁寧に説明をいただけたので、全く経験がなくても的に当てることができました。店内は明るく清潔感があり、安心して楽しむことができます。初心者用に用意された弓なので、筋肉痛や手や腕が痛くなることもなく、気軽に遊べてよかったです。所要時間は３０分〜１時間程度、日本に古来から伝わる伝統文化を体験できますので、旅の途中にちょっとした時間があれば気軽に立ち寄ってみられるのも思い出になること請け合いです。 The explanation was polite, so I was able to hit the target even if I had no experience at all.

The inside of the store is bright and clean, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. The bow was prepared for beginners, so I'm glad I could play it easily without any muscle pain or pain in my hands or arms. It takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour, and you can experience the traditional culture that has been handed down from ancient times in Japan, so if you have a little time during your trip, you can feel free to stop by and it will be a memorable experience.It was so much fun!
