160 Years Authentic Seated Archery Experience in Kyoto
Description
Step inside a meticulously preserved 160-year-old historic dojo to experience the rare discipline of classical Japanese seated archery. In an intimate, shared group setting, a dedicated bilingual interpreter connects you deeply to the spiritual philosophy and technique of this Edo-period heritage. During your hands-on session, you will face an exhilarating challenge: strike the target three times with your 16 arrows to earn the prestigious honor of having your name brushed in Japanese calligraphy and permanently displayed on the dojo walls.

One of the best experiences we have ever had in Japan! The welcome is very warm, the instructors very invested, friendly and very patient!!! Their teachings allow us to discover and learn a very interesting discipline that is the Japanese bow. All the staff are very invested and we had an unforgettable time. Thank you again for this unique experience! We recommend 1000%!!
