Head to the onsite petting zoo to meet some of the horses--twice as heavy as thoroughbreds used in ordinary horse racing--and join in during feeding time. Head to the onsite horse museum to learn about the history of horses in the area and their role in agriculture past and present, as well as seeing a range of antique agricultural tools.

Drawn to this from some of the guide book reviews. We are not big horse racing fans or even regular betters but this was a brilliant event to visit. We even broke our journey Sapporo to Kushiro...

Amazing spectacle. Very cheap to get in 100 y. Horses pulling heavy sleds on a sand track. Very unique.

Every time I visit Obihiro, I make it to this place to see beautiful horses, hoping they will keep this business long as they can. In the same area in a different building they sell foods....fresh from the local field, good for souvenirs,too.

💯 (though best to make sure if horse races are on and the times its running at before you rock up)
