Channel your inner cowboy on a 2.5- or 3-hour horseback-riding trip through the scenic mountain countryside near Sapporo. Best of all you’ll get to experience the glory days of the American West as you start your ride in a simulated Western town, complete with stables and Old West-style wooden buildings.
Begin your horseback riding adventure with a pickup in the early morning in Sapporo by taxi, taking a 40-minute drive to the ride starting point to arrive in the morning. Start your excursion at Mustang Town, a simulated Old West village complete with all the typical structures of a Hollywood-style cowboy town.
Meet your instructor-guide for the day, also known as ‘the Sheriff,’ who will take you through a brief safety lesson, including tips for mounting your horse, holding the reins and tips for turning and stopping. Those with previous horse riding experience can request advanced tips from the instructor.
Then head out for your Wild West ‘patrol’ through the beautiful mountain trails nearby. Depending on the option you’ve selected, you’ll enjoy a 40-minute or 1-hour ride. Pass through picturesque fruit orchards and lush green hillsides along the way. You’ll also be able to spot the area’s unique 8-peak mountain visible in the distance.
Finish your horseback trip with a return by taxi to your hotel in Sapporo.
