Schedule:

The best way to understand Kyudo is to witness it in person. Visitors are welcome to observe our practice sessions and experience the atmosphere of the dojo — the quiet concentration, the precise movement, and the meditative quality of each shot. No prior knowledge or experience is required, but we appreciate that you reach out before you come to visit by sending a message.
