Rejuvenating Horse Rides in Okinawa

Relish a relaxing journey on horseback along the gorgeous coastline of Yomitan Village

Travelers looking to escape the city bustle and embrace the island life are welcome at Okinawa Horse Riding Club. Here, in a rural village setting, beginners and veterans alike can enjoy a singular horse-riding experience set amidst Okinawa’s golden beaches and clear waters.

Just a short walk from the pristine Nirai Beach and nestled amidst abundant nature, Okinawa Horse Riding Club offers a range of courses and lessons, each with their own highlights. Trek alongside—or even into—the sea, across vast green fields, and through verdant woods. First-timers need not worry: the club’s guides are happy to assist in selecting the option that best fits your level. Riders of all ages and levels—as young as age three—are welcome, with experts on hand to enjoy a safe, enjoyable riding experience for all.

More seasoned riders are free to directly select from a lineup of alluring courses. Those looking for a relaxing trek can elect for the Murasaki Mura round-trip course, which will take you to a cultural theme park’s exquisite garden to admire breathtaking architecture and a recreation of Naha city as it existed in the 14th and 15th centuries. Opt for the Banyan course and saunter under these majestic trees along the meadow with the sun shining down from the bright blue sky above. Or visit during summer for the unique Uma Umi “Sea Horse” course, where you and your equine companion will enjoy a cool and refreshing expedition that will take you into the emerald-colored waters.

A plethora of adventurous and therapeutic rides await you just a short 1-hour drive from Okinawa’s capital of Naha.
