Really had a wonderful time learning about horseback riding and archery here in Fujiyoshida. The staff/instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and kind and friendly, and we really appreciate them walking us through everything as complete novices. We got to do a little bit of everything, see the local shrine, learn a little about local culture and history, meet and feed the horses, take some practice archery shots, ride the horses, and then combine everything together at the end. Additionally, we were able to take lots of great photos to commemorate the experience as well (with some help again from the staff)! Highly recommend, thanks again so much BARIKIYA!

Amazing experience, well guided and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would have gone all day if it was allowed.

I cannot express enough how much we enjoyed this activity. The teachers were super duper nice, I would highly recommend.

If you’re even remotely curious about Japanese culture, horses, or just want to try something truly unforgettable, Barikiya’s Yabusame experience near Mt. Fuji is a must-do. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the iconic mountain and framed by the full bloom of cherry blossoms, the setting alone feels like stepping into a historical painting.
The staff at Barikiya were all incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about sharing the world of traditional mounted archery. They made sure everyone felt welcome, and the presence of English-speaking staff made the whole experience smooth and accessible, even for non-Japanese speakers.
Located at Komuro Sengen Shrine, which added a spiritual and cultural depth to the day. The horses were gentle and well-cared-for, and the hands-on approach to learning Yabusame was thrilling yet approachable—perfect for complete beginners and experienced riders alike.
This is more than just an activity; it’s a cultural immersion, a scenic adventure, and a moment of pure connection with Japanese tradition. Highly, highly recommended for all ages and experience levels. You’ll leave with unforgettable memories—and maybe a new passion.
