Horseback
Riding
Our trail ride will allow you to control your horse by yourself and follow the guide staff to the grass field. Our horses are trained Quarter Horses so anyone may feel relaxed to try riding them. Forget daily life for the moment and enjoy the refreshing field air with your horse.
Business Hours | 9:00 AM–4:30 PM / Open year-round (excluding certain days)
[This Month's Schedule]
1. Important Safety Information (Please read carefully)
Even if the numerical limits are met, we will give priority to the on-site supervisor’s judgment for the following reasons.
・Restrictions or cancellations based on on-site judgment
Please note that the course may be altered or the event canceled due to external factors such as strong winds, inclement weather, the condition of the horses, wild deer, and other wildlife, as well as ground conditions.
・Maintaining a riding posture
For safety reasons, we may ask that individuals who are at risk of losing their balance while riding, as well as young children and elderly guests who have difficulty maintaining a safe riding posture on their own, refrain from participating.
Horses are very sensitive creatures. These decisions are made with the safety of both our guests and the horses as our top priority, and we kindly ask for your understanding.
2. Basic Usage Restrictions
For safe riding, we use the following values as a guideline.
・[ Height Restrictions ]
・130 cm or taller: All courses available
・120 cm to under 130 cm: Courses up to 20 minutes
・120 cm or shorter: Lead-rein riding courses only (*Safety restrictions apply. See the “Lead-rein Riding” section for details)
・[ Weight Limit ]
・Men: 80 kg or less / Women: 70 kg or less
(Note: For safety reasons, the total weight—including clothing—will be verified.)
3. Check-in on the day of the event and checking the operating status
We do not accept reservations. We determine the course on a first-come, first-served basis, taking into account current conditions (weather, crowd levels, staff availability, and the horses' condition).
・Check the service status
You can call us to check the approximate availability of tours on the day of your visit.
TEL: 050-1792-1528 (After the automated message, please press “1,” then press “1” again.)
*Please note: The information provided by phone is only an estimate as of the time of confirmation. Since weather conditions and the horses’ condition can change suddenly, details may have changed by the time you arrive. The final decision will be made by the on-site reception staff.
4. About the Long Course Horseback Riding Experience
Currently, the horses capable of handling long courses (40–75 minutes) and special running courses are entering their senior years, so we are strictly limiting their daily exercise. Additionally, since the number of staff available to assist is limited, we will be implementing the following measures.
・Guests staying at the hotel
We will ask about your preferences at check-in and will give you priority seating.
・Day visitors
We are generally closed, but we may make an exception and accommodate requests only if there is sufficient staff availability and the horses have enough energy on the day of your visit. Since we cannot predict when or under what circumstances we will be able to accommodate you, we do not offer advance guarantees or accept reservations. We will make a decision based on the situation at the time of your arrival.
These decisions are made to ensure the horses’ well-being and prevent overwork.
We kindly ask for your understanding.
