Kyoto Japanese Archery Kyudo & 800 Year Old Temple Tour
Kyoto's Sembon Shakado provides a cultural visit and beginner-friendly introduction to kyudo (Japanese archery). Tour the 800-year-old National Treasure temple in English, including its main hall and treasure hall with nationally significant Buddhist statues. You will then use a real yumi (Japanese bow) and arrows under guidance from a Kyoshi (master-level) 6th-dan instructor with more than 50 years of teaching experience. English and Chinese guidance supports instruction focused on movement, awareness, and the process rather than requiring prior experience. The shared experience accommodates up to four travelers, making it easier to follow the archery practice in an authentic setting. No special attire is required, so you can come as you are.
