They offer a lot of Japanese cultural classes and the first class is free.
There was a kyudo class, please see picture here
It looks so cool, therefore I went and gave it a try.
Teacher is a caucasian guy with 30+ years of practicing Kyudo and Aikido.
I only got to practice with a rubber bow, not a real bow.
It takes place in a small dojo, yet yesterday was not a big class anyway.

Learning anything cultural is not easy, it took me a while to remember where should my finger placed.
Hopefully I can explore more with this center, as they have more classes available.
