I've been practising kyudo at Meiji Jingu since November 2008 and find this a wonderful dojo to practice at. Here, attention is paid to the moral and spiritual development of the person rather than focusing on whether one hits the target or not. There are actually two kyudo dojos at Meiji Jingu; the one that members (門人) use is called Shiseikan (至誠館), while the one open to the public is called Chuo Dojo (中央道場). Chuo Dojo is the venue for many kyudo testings and tournaments held in the Tokyo area.

One does not need to have experience to be a member of the Shiseikan. All practice sessions are led by well-respected kyudo teachers, who teach new members the art of kyudo from the very basics. One usually spends several months learning the movements associated with the practice before actually shooting an arrow at a target.

The following is the kyudo practice schedule at Shiseikan.
