Discover the art of Kyudo—traditional Japanese archery—in this authentic, beginner-friendly experience in Tokyo. With ample practice time, you’ll have many chances to shoot, receive personalized guidance, and refine your form. While beginners may not hit the target right away, many participants enjoy steady progress—and sometimes a lucky hit or two.
Your instructor is a certified DAN-level Kyudo master who has refined this program through thousands of sessions, making it accessible and enjoyable even for first-timers.

What to expect
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.
