Step outside the tourist spots and search for more Japanese experiences, you won’t regret it - Instructor was patient, friendly and a really good teacher, even with the language barrier. Kyudo was a great experience.

The Real Deal - This is the real deal for a non-touristy but authentic experience in Japan. Learning from a Kyūdō master the basics of the art and sport was really interesting and not cheesy as this is an actual archery training facility. They stressed the importance of learning the cultural meanings of Kyūdō and the related movements. Not difficult to follow as there was an English translator assisting and explaining. They even provided information on how to pursue the sport in the U.S.

Amazing hands-on archery experience! - This was an amazing experience! It was great to experience the tradition of Kyudo and learn about the practice in so much detail. The sensei was very knowledgeable and helped us to shoot correctly, and his student helped translate for us. Everyone was so kind! Definitely would recommend Kyudo to anyone curious about archery.
