Northern Horse Park

Unwind in the Lush Forests of Tomakomai: A Relaxing Escape with Horses and Nature

From horseback riding and garden strolls to Hokkaido’s seasonal cuisine, this nature-filled retreat offers a memorable experience for visitors of all ages.

Set in the lush woodlands of Tomakomai, the park is home to around 80 horses, including retired racehorses and adorable ponies. Inside the stables, the gentle scent of straw and the soft sound of the horses’ breathing create a calming atmosphere that melts away the stress of everyday life. Visitors can connect with these animals through experiences such as pony rides for children or leisurely horse-drawn carriage tours through the scenic grounds.

Beyond the stables, explore a stunning 33,000-square-meter botanical garden, where around 1,000 varieties of seasonal flowers bloom throughout the year, filling the air with fresh fragrance. For those seeking more activity, enjoy a Segway tour or a round of park golf. In winter, the park transforms into a snowy wonderland for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.

After a day of exploring, relax at a restaurant overlooking the gardens and savor freshly baked bread alongside Hokkaido’s finest seasonal ingredients. Here, you can enjoy a peaceful moment surrounded by nature and horses.
