Introduction

These Terms & Cancellation Policy (the “Terms”) apply to the use of this website and to all bookings and participation at Kyudo Experience Cafe in Kyoto and Harajuku. By sending a booking request or joining an experience, you agree to these Terms.

Our Service

Kyudo Experience Cafe offers a casual, beginner-friendly cultural introduction to Kyudo, the traditional Japanese art of archery. A standard session takes about 30 minutes and includes hakama rental, basic instruction from an instructor, a Japanese archery experience, photo time, and a drink.

The experience is a cultural activity designed for travelers — it is not a formal dojo lesson, rank examination, or certification course. Both locations are inside Ninja Experience Cafe.
