Kyudo, Japanese Archery Experience In Hiroshima
Kyudo, Japanese Archery Experience in Hiroshima
What to expect?
A 3-min walk from the Atomic Bomb Dome will bring you to a newly opened dojo that offers a chance to try kyudo, traditional Japanese archery. This is the only place where you can enjoy the Japanese traditional archery ( KYUDO ) experience in Hiroshima.
The target is just six meters away from the shooting line, but it’ll be challenging for any beginner. First, you will dress in traditional Kyudo uniforms which include Dogi(upper wear) and Hakama(lower wear). Then brief explanation, instruction and demonstration of the art of Kyudo will be given. You will use the knowledge gainded to shoot arrows at the target.
Japanese Kyudo is much more concerned with one's mindfulness and spirit while shooting while Western archery is almost exclusively concerned with hitting the target.
If you can get a bulls-eye, it’s believed that it’ll bring good luck and may even make your wish come true!
