- Overview
-
- Kanazawa City, only less than 3-hour bullet train ride from Tokyo, is a treasure trove of history and tradition, deeply rooted in samurai culture. Known for its well-preserved Edo-period districts, the city offers a captivating glimpse into Japan's feudal past.
- Operated by a reputable local company with over 50 years of history, this authentic private workshop features a formally-trained Kyudo master as a member of the Ishikawa Kyudo Federation. The master instructor will guide you through the fundamentals of form, technique, and philosophy while an English-speaking interpreter will accompany you throughout this experience and ensure seamless communications.
- After the workshop is concluded, make sure you leave some time to take a stroll at the Kenrokuen Garden, one of Japan's 3 Most Beautiful Gardens. Spanning over 25 acres, this stunning landscape was developed over centuries, beginning in the 17th century, by the Maeda clan.
