Start your experience by changing into a Hakama, a traditional pleated skirt-like garment.
After learning the basics of Kyūdō through hands-on guided practice, move to the real 28-meter shooting range.
Here you will test your skills with a bamboo bow (Daikyū), one of the few opportunities for beginners to try a real bamboo bow.
As you go through each step, shift your focus entirely on the present moment. It’s not just about hitting the target but about engaging in the mindful process of archery.
From drawing the bow to releasing the arrow, stay mentally and emotionally centered, grounding yourself in each moment of the practice.
The gloves, made by a local company in Kagawa Prefecture, known as “Glove Town,” reflect the region’s 90% share of the domestic glove market.
During this two-hour experience, you’ll also enjoy tea and grape mochi, a traditional local sweet.
You can start this experience at the following places.
Shirotori Shrine
〒769-2702 JP Kagawa, Higashikagawa, Matsubara 69
