• FujisanSimomiya OmuroSengen Jinja - Discover the art of traditional Japanese horseback archery! Beginners are encouraged to participate in our Yabusame challenge.

About us:
Our mission centers on wellbeing, not only for our guests and horses but as a fundamental principle in all our activities. We support animal welfare by offering retired horses a second career in tourism. In Japan, retired horses often have limited options. By providing them with a new purpose, we effectively save their lives and allow them to flourish in a healthy environment. Additionally, we are dedicated to preserving Japan’s cultural heritage, specifically the ancient art of Yabusame (horseback archery), which is less common in modern times. Together, we can uphold tradition, promote sustainability, and foster a meaningful bond between humans and horses.

Notes:
・Duration: approximately 2 hours for two participants (may vary slightly depending on group size).

・We utilize native Japanese Kiso horses, which are slightly smaller than Western breeds. For safety and comfort, we recommend that riders weigh between 85–90 kg. Other guests are invited to enjoy our horse-drawn carriage ride through Fujiyoshida city or participate in our horse interaction experience instead.

• Traditional clothes rental
• Equipment rental

• Transportation to your hotel after the activity concludes.
