[Tour guiado em inglês] Experiência de Kyudo Samurai em Gion, Kyoto (explicação cultural e prática de tiro real e competição divertida e lembrança fotográfica)

My experience today was excellent. My sensei had practiced Kyudo for 40 years! He was very patient and understanding and made the whole experience very fun. I would recommend this experience for a light introduction to Kyudo. It was very enjoyable to learn the technique to fire the yumi. I think I will begin to practice Kyudo in my home country now as there is an official club near me! Thank you sensei!

We absolutely loved this experience. Kaz, our main instructor, and his team were the most kind and welcoming. They started by educating us on the history of the bow and arrow, basics of form and then gave us hands-on instruction for a few shots. Both of us were holding a bow for the first time, and we were able to hit the bullseye within 5 shots because of their instruction! This is a great experience for families, couples or individuals.

I was so happy to finally experience Kyudo, something I’ve always admired. Thanks to the instructor’s detailed guidance, I was even able to hit the target on my first try! Through this experience, I truly felt that Kyudo is more than just a martial art about hitting a target; it is a process of mental and physical discipline. Since every movement requires delicate precision, the arrow would head in an unexpected direction if my mind drifted even for a second. On the other hand, I had the amazing experience of seeing the arrows cluster together when I stayed focused. It was a truly valuable time, just as I had expected, and this experience has made me want to start learning Kyudo seriously. I definitely want to sign up again on my next visit to Kyoto!

Fantastic experience! A great instructor who takes their time and introduces students to archery. Clear recommendation, I would do it again immediately on my next visit to Kyoto!

I really enjoyed this Japanese archery experience. Booking ahead is a good idea as sometimes there can be a crowd of walk-ins. It can be a little hard to find, just make sure you approach the building from the Main Street, not a side street. With this package, you get way more opportunities to shoot than just paying for a few arrows. The instructor is great at helping you have good posture and straight shots!

experience: was absolutely amazing, everyone was so kind and the owner even came to greet us. They were patient and very thorough with teaching us both culture and proper technique. safety: extremely safe and well taken care of. instructor:very thorough, kind and a great teacher. equipment: equipment was very well kept in great condition, clean and safe. location: very easy to find along the high street. Melissa and maissiah were amazing instructors and made the experience extremely enjoyable. I would highly recommend.

My first Kyudo experience was so much fun! The instructor meticulously guided me on posture, how to hold the bow, grip the string, and release the arrow. I went from not being able to hit the target at all to gradually succeeding, which brought a great sense of accomplishment 👏🏼. You can even ask the instructor to take photos and videos for you XD. If you ever come to Gion, I highly recommend trying this experience 🙌🏼.

I really enjoyed my experience! The location was easy to find and convenient if you are in the Gion area. I was given a brief rundown on the history of Kyudo and how to go about shooting the bow, then was taken upstairs to a separate range where I received in person instruction. The Sensei was very kind and encouraging, giving me pointers that helped me get pretty good over the hour. He also helped take plenty of pictures! Would do again if i come back to Kyoto in the Future.

The technical presentation and explanation in the video was not very engaging. The practical part was fun, and our guide was good at making himself understood and giving us tips to improve our shots.

Miku hat uns durch das traditionelle japanische Bogenschießen geführt und es war eine fantastische Zeit. Er hat sich die Zeit genommen, uns zu erklären, wie wir unseren Körper und unsere Arme positionieren müssen, und obwohl ich das Ziel nicht oft getroffen habe, hat es super viel Spaß gemacht. 10/10
