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.

This was so fun! I originally tried to book through Barikiya’s website, but it was confusing so Viator worked very well. Our instructor Yoni was wonderful and so funny! She gave us a tour of the shrine and explained all of the parts and made sure we had time to shop too. She’s very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We really enjoyed our time with Yoni—it was like hanging out with an old friend! We got to dress up, meet all of the horses, practice archery from the ground, ride, and then of course try horseback archery! The little Kiso horse knows his job and took great care of my 11 year old daughter. At the same time, I have riding experience and he was fun for me too! Completely recommend this experience. This was the highlight of our trip! Thank you!
The Yabusame horseback archery experience was so much fun!! Yoni and Daisuke were great teachers and a joy to talk to! They speak Japanese and English so their instruction was easy to understand. My brother and I first dressed in the tradition attire and then Yoni and Daisuke took us to the near by shrine where they taught us how to pay respects and pray correctly. We then went over to their arena where we met the horses and the Kiso horse named Sumikaze that we were going to ride. They were all very sweet and a bit sassy, especially the little Shetland pony named Beethoven! For the archery lesson, we started on the ground first and Yoni taught us how to properly shoot the arrows at the targets and once my brother and I practiced for a few minutes we then took turns riding Sumikaze and shooting the targets. Yoni lead Sumikaze for us at first while we figured out the coordination or riding, aiming, and shooting the arrows. My brother and I figured it out very quickly and soon we were taking turns riding and shooting the arrows by ourselves! My brother and I both hit the targets multiply times while riding at a walk, trot, and canter on Sumikaze! The whole experience was the highlight of our trip to Japan and we will definitely be back again! Thanks again to Yoni and Daisuke! They were so friendly and had great senses of humor! We loved talking with them! I recommend this experience to anyone who loves horses and is looking for a unique experience in japan!
It was a fabulous experience! The guides were so welcoming. It was lovely to see the shrine especially with the horse spirit connection. It was fun to dress up. The archery and especially from horseback was super cool!
Absolutely lovely experience from start to finish. As a family of riders and Japanese history enthusiasts, this was the number one activity I was excited to experience with my family and it did not disappoint. Everyone was so lovely and we really appreciated getting to experience the temple nearby as well. I also loved meeting all the rescue horses that they keep there. Will definitely be back!
Wonderful Experience! The instructors were kind, helpful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable! We enjoyed every minute learning about and participating in Yabusame!
What an amazing experience. I was fully prepared for the fun of the horseback archery, but loved the links to the shrine and the horses' history. My guide had an awesome sense of humour too.
A wonderful experience even if doing it solo. They have both English and Japanese speaking guides, which was great. Yoni did an amazing job explaining all the significance of the shrine, the goddess, the history of the sport of Yabusame, and introducing all of the horses. Honestly learning all about the culture was almost as much fun as the Yabusame itself. If you’re a foreigner like me you may feel a little out of place in the cultural clothes at first, but everyone is so friendly and you quickly get used to them. It’s a very unique and immersive experience and perfect place to do it at the shrine where you can meet one of the 8 holy horses in Japan (and to do it during the year of the horse, even better!) haha
Amazing experience and a unique opportunity to learn firsthand about the Yabusame tradition without extensive training! The instructors were very friendly and I would highly recommend this spot while taking in the great views from Fujiyoshida!
