Join a Japanese archery experience in a shrine! As you go through each step shift your focus entirely on the present moment. It’s not just about hitting the target but about engaging in the mindful process of archery. From drawing the bow to releasing the arrow, stay mentally and emotionally centered, grounding yourself in each moment of the practice.
After learning the basics of Kyūdō through hands-on guided practice, move to the real 28-meter shooting range. Here you will test your skills with a bamboo bow (Daikyū), one of the few opportunities for beginners to try a real bamboo bow. The gloves, made by a local company in Kagawa Prefecture, known as "Glove Town," reflect the region’s 90% share of the domestic glove market. During this two-hour experience, you’ll also enjoy tea and budou mochi, a traditional local sweet, which consists of smooth red bean paste wrapped in a thin layer of dough and has a history of about 350 years!
