18Horseback Riding Experience
Experience
Your First Horseback Photo with Toyama Castle
Enjoy a horseback riding experience while taking in the view of Toyama Castle.
Even simply riding a horse feels extraordinary, but wearing a jinbaori makes the experience even more special—like stepping into the role of a samurai in the castle town.
The horse is guided by staff who lead the reins, making the experience safe and comfortable even for first-time riders.
Because the activity is short and easy to join, it's perfect for creating a memorable moment during your visit.
Children can also participate, making it a popular activity for families.
Photos taken with Toyama Castle in the background will stand out beautifully in your travel album.
As this is an outdoor activity, please check the weather conditions and event schedule on the day.
