A private dojo inside a peaceful temple! Beginners are welcome!
Try Japanese archery at Kyoshoji!
Experience archery at Kyoshoji, a serene Japanese temple in Noshiro City, across the famous ‘Kaze no Matsubara’—an experience that even beginners can enjoy! After changing into a traditional uniform known as ‘Dogi’, learn about the history, spirit, and tools of the ancient art of kyudo. The kyudo instructor, chief priest of the temple and a veteran with over 50 years of archery experience, will then carefully teach you how to do archery the Japanese way. Test your skills by competing against everyone at the mini-tournament held at the end. Be sure to say hello to Hanako, the temple’s friendly Bernese mountain dog!
Please note that the entrance is not in front of the temple, but on the Kaze no Matsubara side.
