Ishikari Horse Riding Forest Course
Horse riding experience with friends! The horses were very well behaved, but the person who accompanied me was an old man who was hard of hearing, and I couldn't hear him even if I tried to talk to him, so I was worried because it was my first time riding a horse. The overall service was not good. (This review has been machine translated) -
Horse riding by the sea
I visited for the first time with a friend who loves horses! We booked a 60-minute course, but wanted to go horseback riding along the sea, so we quickly changed it to a 90-minute course! The horses all had their own different personalities and were all so cute and fun. I'd love to visit again! (This review has been machine translated)

It was the best day ever!
It was my family's first experience of horse riding. Thanks to the very well behaved and docile horses and the guides who accompanied us, my elementary school-aged child was not scared at all and enjoyed the horse riding with peace of mind from start to finish. It was a rare and valuable experience, and I'm glad we participated! The horses were also cute and soothing. Thank you very much (╹◡╹) (This review has been machine translated) -
Very good
We are a 58-year-old couple and this was our first time participating, but we were very satisfied with everything. We would like to ride again. (This review has been machine translated) -
Fulfilling horse trekking
I want to go for a walk on a horse! This dream came true. In early July, the tourist spots in Hokkaido were nice, but I wanted to do something memorable, so I made a reservation by phone the day before. Since I didn't have a car, I took an early morning bus from Sapporo to Ishikari. The first thing that surprised me was that I didn't need to prepare anything! When I was looking at other facilities, I saw that they recommended things like shoes and pants, so I went there dressed only in the bare minimum, but here, there were facilities and changing rooms where you could borrow everything, including special pants, boots, gloves, a helmet, and a jacket if necessary, which was very helpful. Once I was ready, I was ready to go horseback riding. First, we were given an explanation on how to ride and toured the facility for about 20 minutes. After that, we started trekking, following the horse ridden by the instructor. We left the facility and went through grass, streams, and small bridges. On the way, we were taken through a forest-like area, and it was very fun to walk through the tall grass while passing through the trees. We also walked along the road beside the Ishikari River, and it was fun to see the cars avoiding the horses. It was a 40-minute trek, but it was packed with content. And it was pretty tiring on the butt. I was only able to experience it in the morning, but it was a very fulfilling day. The people at the facility were very kind and welcoming, and I am very grateful. (This review has been machine translated)
