Horseback riding experience while gazing at Aso's wilderness. I was healed by the fluttering footsteps. Since it is a guide horse, even first-timers and children could ride the horse with peace of mind. It is closed from December to February and business hours are from 9:00 to 4:00. You can get on as soon as you go, so you can get on with almost no reservations or waiting. The fee is 1500 yen per person for a 5-minute course. It is recommended because you can take a commemorative photo or take a video while riding.
