Saddle up in Niseko's Winter Wonderland
Enjoy a horseback riding experience at a ranch at the foot of Mount Yotei. This is a relaxing, beginner-friendly experience where you can take in the snowy scenery while riding and feel the gentle sway of the horse.
Friendly horses will welcome you. You’ll start by practicing in an enclosed area before heading out to the open fields, so even first-time riders can feel confident. After the ride, you can enjoy photo opportunities as well as feeding and brushing the horses (weather permitting).
This experience is perfect for creating lasting memories with family and friends amid Niseko’s stunning scenery.
