Horse-drawn carriage with Mt. Fuji Views

Discover the charm of Fujiyoshida at a relaxed pace with a horse-drawn carriage ride through the city center. Starting from Honchou street, you’ll enjoy some of the best views of Mt. Fuji while passing traditional shops and local landmarks. The route continues through the Nishiura district, an area known for its retro-style cafés and nostalgic atmosphere. The carriage moves slowly, giving you plenty of time to take photos, enjoy the scenery, and simply relax. This is a unique way to see Fujiyoshida — combining the city’s retro vibe, seasonal beauty, and the unforgettable backdrop of Mt. Fuji. Whether you’re visiting in spring, summer, autumn, or winter, each season offers its own charm. Perfect for couples, families, or anyone who wants to experience the city in a calm and memorable way.

The core of our mission is Wellbeing, not just for our guests and horses, but as a guiding principle of everything we do. We’re committed to creating harmony between people, animals, and nature. Barikiya plays a crucial role in 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. By sharing this tradition with people from around the world, we strive to keep this important part of our history alive. Together, we can preserve tradition, promote sustainability, and create a meaningful connection between humans and horses.
