Urakawa Yushun Village AERU
Connect with Nature and Legendary Horses in Hokkaido
Discover a peaceful 107-hectare retreat where Hokkaido’s horses and landscapes shape the rhythm of life.
Located at the foot of the Hidaka Mountains, Urakawa Yushun Village AERU is a nature-focused resort where vast pastures and green grasslands stretch to the horizon. This unique destination is the retirement home for legendary champion racehorses. Watching these powerful yet gentle animals spend their days in peace, surrounded by rustling grass and mountain breezes, provides a deep sense of tranquility that heals the soul.
AERU offers activities that allow you to fully experience Hokkaido’s wilderness. Even beginners can enjoy horseback riding, feeling a special bond with the animals through their warmth and rhythmic gait. You can also try park golf or admire the expansive views of the neighboring JRA training farms.
After a day of adventure, enjoy a dinner made with fresh local ingredients at the on-site restaurant and unwind in the large public bath. At AERU, the connection between nature, horses, and people creates a gentle sense of calm that feels like coming home.
