Kyudo is a Japanese martial art based on shooting an arrow from a Japanese bow to a target to reach a complete focus of mind and body. The main difference of kyudo and western archery is that, in kyudo, every movement follows a traditional routine that pays respect to the equipment and to the opponent. You will come to the archery range and dress in an authentic kyudo uniform, which will include dogi—the upper wear—and hakama—the lower wear. I'll give a brief explanation about the art of kyudo as well as instructions and demonstrations. With the knowledge you'll gain, you will learn to shoot arrows at the target. You'll also understand the fun and challenging aspect of the sport, particularly while wearing the traditional hakama and armor. Usually in kyudo, you are not allowed to pull the arrow unless you master the basics. But during our lesson, you will be able to enjoy the real kyudo experience even as a complete beginner. It will be a great time if you are looking for a nice photo or movie to show to your friends.

Most visitors to Japan never get closer to its archery tradition than a photograph. Here, you pick up a bow yourself. A master of shihan-mato, a traditional Japanese archery style with its own bow, posture and history, teaches you in a private studio five minutes from Ebisu Station. You change into traditional archery dress, learn stance, grip and breathing, then shoot for real while the master corrects your form personally and moves the target back as your aim steadies. Once the basics settle, the mood shifts: you play a friendly target game against your group, your host, or the master himself. Very few guests beat him. Your English-speaking host interprets throughout, so nothing is lost. Shihan-mato is distinct from kyudo, the modern standardized form, but shares the same roots and the same emphasis on posture, breathing and etiquette. With a maximum of eight guests, everyone shoots many times and everyone gets corrected personally.
