Enjoy a horseback adventure into the depths of the pine forests of Kaminoyama. Our skilled guides are fully English/Japanese bilingual and are happy to welcome riders of all ages and experience levels.
During the experience, as you ride through the woods, you’ll be immersed in breathtaking greenery and unspoiled mountainous views that have inspired Japanese poets, writers, and artists for centuries.
In line with our commitment to sustainable tourism, many of the horses here are in fact retired race horses who are now blissfully spending their days romping around the mountains and loving the attention that they receive from visitors.
This experience includes transportation to and from Kaminoyama Onsen Station which is located only 12 minutes away from Yamagata City by train and costs ¥240 one way on the Yamagata Line.
This experience is typically offered year-round however may become canceled or postponed in case of inclement weather. Contrary to what you may expect, Winter Riding in the snow is very popular and is sure to be an unforgettable experience!

I love animals and nature but it is very difficult to have opportunities like this in Tokyo where we live in Tokyo. I hope more and more foreigners get the opportunity to escape the big city and ride horses like we did.

Thank you to EVERYONE involved in making this experience happen. It was an experience of a lifetime, and I am forever grateful for having been invited to be a part of it. Having ridden a horse through a forest trail in the mountains of Yamagata on a sunny day was simply outstanding.
