Japanese Archery Experience HIROSHIMA CASTLE SHARAKU
Description
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.

Went with my daughter (13 years old). Authentic hands-on cultural experience. The guide (few young ladies) were very helpful and answered all the questions we had. Dressing in the traditional Japanese archery costume put us in a fun mood as well. We would definitely consider doing it again! The only negative was that we had to wait outside in 36C temperature until the exact time of the appointment. Would have been better if they had warned us so that we arrived more on time than early.
It was great!! I loved this experience, the explanation was clear. The guides were very patient with us.
Very recommended, very fun, staff welcomed kindly and carefully, able to get to know the Japanese arcade.
Great experience, the instructors were very helpful.
The instructions were kept short and easy to follow, got to have a few rounds to get used to the bow, being able to put on a uniform made the experience even better. Instructors spoke little English but with a translating app were able to answer all questions
Great experience learning the technique and history of the Japanese Archery. Staff were welcoming and the location was great near the Hiroshima castle. Highly recommend to do this tour if your in Hiroshima
Great experience with the Hiroshima archery 🏹 experience. Staff welcomed us and explained about the technique history and how to use archery. Highly recommend to do when u are in Hiroshima.
Kind and easy to understand. If you do exactly what you're told. Because it hits quite a target! I'd like to go there again!
A great activity to do while in Hiroshima, a lot harder than it looks! But great fun all the same, lovely inside room and very helpful, respectful teachers
This was my first experience with Kyudo. The staff is also very warm and kind and teaches me again and again from scratch, The dojo was also very clean and the dogi was cool enough to wear over the clothes, so it took no effort and time. It was a one-hour reservation, but I was able to shoot a lot of arrows. I was very kind to my husband who only spoke English. The staff were very good at using their time, even though there were some side stories from customers, changing clothes, explanations, etc., and they were professional staff who made the experience very satisfying. If I get the chance, I want to go again and again. I definitely recommend it. I'll make another opportunity to come. Thank you very much for your time♪ I'll definitely come again.
