• 3-chōme-32-18 Shimoyoshida - Our mission centers on [Well-being]—not only for our guests and horses but as a fundamental principle in all our endeavors. We are dedicated to fostering harmony among people, animals, and nature.
  Barikiya significantly contributes to animal welfare by offering retired horses a second career in tourism. In Japan, retired horses often have limited opportunities. By providing them with a new purpose, we effectively save their lives and enable them to flourish in a healthy environment.
  We are also committed to preserving Japan’s cultural heritage, particularly the ancient art of Yabusame (horseback archery), which is less common in modern times. By sharing this tradition with people worldwide, we aim to keep this vital part of our history alive.
  Together, we can preserve tradition, promote sustainability, and forge a meaningful connection between humans and horses.
