Welcome to Tokyo, Japan!
Experience KYUDO, the Japanese art of archery, the most beautiful, elegant martial art, with this program in Tokyo.
In Japan, KYUDO is recognized to be a “Dynamic ZEN Meditation”.
Believe it or not, the moment the arrow leaves your hand, you know it will hit the target.
Notably, guests can experience this in an official hall (not fake place build by individuals), at real competition range (not short range), and sometimes with regular archers.
And usually in Japan, when people take up KYUDO in the official hall in earnest, it takes several months of practice before they are allowed to actually shoot at a target, but this program lets you go straight into action.
Don a real traditional KYUDO uniform.
Get matched with a bow and arrows for your body.
Channel your inner spirits, but keeping your mind quiet, and try shooting an arrow at the middle of the target.
This experience is not commercialized for foreign tourists, but is a genuine experience in which local Japanese people also participate.
We have enough time to do program, so you have dozens (not a dozen) of times to try, but please understand that you may not hit the target on your first day, or you may get lucky once or twice.
So, get advice on how to improve your movement.
Although the instructor in this program is a DAN master (seeker), we have made many improvements over the thousands of people we have accepted for this experience and have created the program that can be enjoyed even by those who are new to Kyudo.
