For those of you who feel this way, we will teach you the principles of the bow, how to aim, tips for hitting the target, how to shoot, and other basic techniques according to your purpose, whether you want to start shooting at a shihan-teki or want to shoot a o-yumi in the future.

To be honest, beginners often can't enjoy skiing or snowboarding. Falling hurts. And worst of all, it's cold. It's nice to go skiing with experienced skiers and get some instruction, but since those experienced skiers are also there, it's common for people to get thrown out midway through ski resorts. I remember being thrown out at the top as a beginner, falling over and over, and finally making it down on my bottom, only to find a rest area. I'm not alone in this scene; ski resorts are full of it. "I don't understand what's so fun about it..." It's such a shame and a shame to see someone motivated! But once you can ski properly, it's just so much fun. It's so much fun you can't take a break. It's so much fun you look forward to the weekend. It's so much fun you get excited about snow forecasts. It might even make you want to live in a snowy country, changing your life. For beginners, we teach you how to fall. For experienced skiers, we offer high-quality lessons tailored to your needs. Level up guaranteed! *Please note that insurance does not cover non-Japanese residents. If you do not reside in Japan, please make sure to purchase your own insurance in advance before participating.
