- Hiroshima Castle Sannomaru Ruins - Kyudo is a traditional Japanese martial art that involves shooting an arrow from a Japanese bow to achieve complete mental and physical focus. Unlike Western archery, kyudo emphasizes a series of traditional movements that honor both the equipment and the opponent. Participants will visit the archery range and don an authentic kyudo uniform, which includes the dogi (upper garment) and hakama (lower garment). A brief introduction to the art of kyudo will be provided, along with instructions and demonstrations. With this newfound knowledge, participants will learn to shoot arrows at the target, experiencing the enjoyable and challenging aspects of the sport, especially while wearing the traditional hakama and armor. Typically, in kyudo, one is not permitted to draw the arrow without mastering the basics. However, during this lesson, even complete beginners can enjoy an authentic kyudo experience. It’s a wonderful opportunity for those seeking memorable photos or videos to share with friends.

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.
