Horse Forest Metasequoia

Metasequoia and Horse Forest], a sightseeing ranch where visitors can interact with horses, opens in a row of metasequoia trees!

April 19, 2025: Open

The Yoro Ranch [Metasequoia and Horse Forest] (Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture)—a tourist destination where “people, horses, and the land” coexist—has opened along the Metasequoia Avenue, a scenic spot in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture. Born from a desire for visitors to experience the charm of horses and the beauty of nature with all five senses, this facility—which is seamlessly integrated into the landscape using abundant wood and earth—offers a variety of hands-on activities, such as horse-drawn carriage rides, horseback riding, and feeding the horses, as well as unique experiences like café time. Whether you’re a horse lover or someone interacting with horses for the first time, be sure to check out this much-talked-about, nature-filled retreat that offers a truly relaxing escape.
