Traveler Reviews
amazing! the two lovely instructors spoke perfect English. The place was easy to find, very knowledgeable. would recommend to young and old. would and will return
The activity was really interesting and fun! We enjoyed spending time with the two girls, whose calm and patient attitude helped us having so much fun.
Great activity, first you get an introduction to archery in Japan and Samurai times. They explain to you how to hold and shoot the arrow in great detail, so it’s easy to follow up. After a practice round you can shoot away in a competition with others and yourself.
The guides were very knowledgeable in Kyudo. you will do a beginner version of the real art. It is already quite challenging. not very suitable for very young kids as it takes quite a bit if concentration to follow the techniques.
Fun and educational! Dress up as skilled archers. The instructors first explain how to do it well, then it's straight to practice, and then a real Japanese archery competition! Highly recommended experience!!
Great! I would do it again anytime. The Kudo masters were unique and even managed to get us to score a goal at the end.
Wow what a fun activity! Perfect thing to do to beat the heat midday, and learn a bit about the samurai history and techniques of the sport. There are even competitions still going on today, attended by the women guiding the experience so you know they are passionate / know what they’re talking about. They and the owner who is also were so friendly and welcoming. Thank you for a great time!
A very pleasant experience as a family. The explanations were clear and easy to follow. Even for my 11-year-old daughter, who had a great time. The instructors were friendly. I recommend this activity!
A wonderful discovery with my 14-year-old teenager. Fun, interesting, and a nice front desk. It's next to Hiroshima Castle, so it's a good combination. I highly recommend it.
Great event, highly recommended. You get a great insight into the sport, shoot a lot, and learn interesting information. Time flew by.
