Itinerary
This experience is a beginner-friendly version of Yabusame (traditional horseback archery). ・Minimum participants: 2 travelers. ・Duration: approximately 2 hours (may vary depending on group size). ・We use native Japanese Kiso horses, which are slightly smaller than Western breeds. For the safety and welfare of our horses, participants must weigh 80 kg (176 lbs) or less. Guests who exceed this weight limit are welcome to enjoy our horse-drawn carriage ride through Fujiyoshida City or a horse interaction experience instead. About us: Our mission is the wellbeing of both our guests and horses. We support animal welfare by giving retired horses a second career in tourism. In Japan, retired horses often have limited opportunities. By providing them with a meaningful role, we help them live safe, healthy, and fulfilling lives. We are also dedicated to preserving the ancient tradition of Yabusame (horseback archery). Together, we can preserve tradition, promote sustainability, and create a meaningful connection between humans and horses.
