What to expect

Start your experience by changing into a Hakama, a traditional pleated skirt-like garment. 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!
