Kyudo

A kyudo (弓道) archer

Japanese archery (弓道; kyūdō) is growing in popularity worldwide as evidenced by many new and continuing international lectures and competitions. Even seasoned western archers will find kyudo a very challenging but rewarding experience!

Unfortunately, junior high schools don't have their own kyudo clubs, but community kyudojos are very welcoming to foreigners. Some high schools have kyudo clubs.
