What to expect
We contribute to animal welfare by providing retired horses with a second career in tourism. In Japan, horses often face limited options after retirement. By offering them a new purpose, we essentially save their lives while allowing them to thrive in a healthy environment.
We also work on preserving Japan’s cultural heritage, the ancient art of Yabusame (horseback archery), which is less practiced in modern times.
Together, we can preserve tradition, promote sustainability, and create a meaningful connection between humans and horses. ・ Duration: about 2 hours for two participants (may vary slightly depending on group size). ・ We use native Japanese Kiso horses, which are slightly smaller than Western breeds. For safety and comfort, we recommend that the rider’s weight is within 85–90 kg. Other guests are welcome to enjoy our horse-drawn carriage ride through Fujiyoshida city or horse interaction experience instead.
