Where can I experience Kyudo in Tokyo? I want to experience Japanese traditional culture by renting a set of tools!

<What is Kyudo>
It is a martial art that trains the mind and body through a series of actions of shooting an arrow with a Japanese bow and hitting it in a target manner.

Training of mind and body ... The method seems to be strict. If you mess up during training, you will be very angry and nervous. I laugh when I can't laugh. It's a high hurdle.

When I checked the Kyudo hall in Tokyo, I found that there are many, Tokyo Budokan, Meguro-ku Central Gymnasium, Komazawa Olympic Park General Sports Ground ... It seems that there are various conditions. Please note that Kyudo classes and hands-on events for the general public are held only a few times a year and the application acceptance period is limited, so the atmosphere seems to be quite different depending on the facility, so if it is the first time, first It seems better to visit It is necessary to make a reservation in advance for the tour

The basic information of the beginner's archery class seems to be like this
(Generally, please contact each facility for details)

Target age: There are many places above junior high school
cost: It seems that you can often lend a set of necessary tools, and it is free or cheap. The participation fee for the classroom seems to vary considerably depending on the location and teacher, but there are also classrooms sponsored by volunteers from the Kyudo Federation. Such a place seems to be relatively cheap
Practice flow: Change of clothes → Selection of bows and arrows → Explanation of archery and patterns → Actual start of practice / guidance (about 1 hour)

The first thing to worry about is that the number of people who can make a reservation is from 2 people. You can't make a reservation by yourself! Someone let's aim for Legolas with me It might be fun even in a group

Another thing I'm curious about is that the rentable dojo is [M size only]. It's a dojo, so even if you have some grace, you can't wear it if you're fat. Personally, Legolas cosplay is fine, but if you go there, you may get angry. As a remark, "The dojo is a sacred place. Please respect the atmosphere of the dojo and be sure to follow the instructor's guidance." It takes a little courage to go with cosplay because it is there. Participants who are unlikely to be able to wear M size should wear comfortable clothes or go on a diet first.

This plan is also held only a few times a month, but it's nice to be able to choose from four time zones a day, morning and afternoon.

And the famous one in this area is "Fukagawa Fudoson". The new main hall here is full of Fudo Myo Shingon and it is powerful. It is about a 12-minute walk from the Fukagawa Sports Center, so after unifying the spirit with the archery experience, I will go with the perfect flow of absorbing good luck power with Fukagawa Fudoson.
