Private Kyudo (Japanese archery) experience at Sonoyama Kyudojo in Kyoto

Would you like to experience traditional Japanese kyudo (archery) at Sonoyama Daikyuba, located right next to Yasaka Shrine in Gion, Kyoto? At this historic dojo founded in 1862, you will learn etiquette, posture, breathing, and how to hold the bow with the guidance of an English-speaking guide, then aim at targets using an authentic Japanese bow. Instruction is given carefully, step-by-step, even for beginners, allowing you to take on the challenge at your own pace. The experience is a 60-minute private plan. Within that time, you can practice without any limits on the number of arrows, and savor the tension of drawing the bow and the exhilaration of the moment you release it. Create unforgettable memories unique to Kyoto while also touching upon the history and culture passed down through the dojo.
