I'm interested in Kyudo. But I feel that archery (Kyudo, Yabusame) is too difficult to do all at once. I'd like to try shooting a bow for now. I've tried shooting at other archery ranges, but I can't hit the target. I want to get a little better. 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. It uses a shorter and weaker bow than Kyudo, so even beginners can enjoy it, but it is deep and even serious archers will be satisfied as you can aim at targets at the official distance of shihan-teki competitions.

Nokogiriyama is known as a lesser known mountain on the Boso Peninsula. With its jagged ridgeline resembling the teeth of a saw, and the remains of the quarry where Boso stone was quarried by the stone-cutting industry until the Showa era, it looks like an abandoned building, and this otherworldly space that appears in the middle of nature has become popular. On this tour, you will pass through the streets of Kanaya, which once flourished as a stone-cutting industry, and climb the "Sharikko Road," a road that once transported quarried stone, with a guide. While enjoying the climb, which is low above sea level but has a large elevation difference, you will feel the breath of the craftsmen of the time, and trace the history of how Boso stone supported Japan's modernization and declined over time.
